Follow these tipsIf you’re heading abroad to a country like Spain, Portugal, or France this summer, you have probably heard about long border control queues at some airports in Europe. I’ve travelled between the EU and the UK several times since EES was rolled out, and it can be tricky to predict whether you’ll encounter those longer EES queues, or whether you’ll breeze through. Some airports are suspending the EES checks when queues become too long, but a YouGov study last month reported that 16% of travellers said EES delayed the start of their holiday. This can maximise the chance that queues, including border control queues for EES checks, are shorter. This leaves me as much time as possible to clear long EES passport control queues.
