      Surprised UK got ETA implemented right with hardly any queues for non-UK travellers, but Germany, Spain, Greece or other EU countries haven’t..

      We all need to stop listening to the Airport and Airlines lobby. Yes, EES takes a bit of time. Yes, the EU is taking control of its borders and is very entitled to electronically check who arrives, who leaves, and how long they stayed in Schengen. No, Easyjet does not have the clout to decide if EES is implemented or not.

      >Airports and airlines have warned of Easter travel chaos as a deadline for full implementation of new border checks for non-EU citizens kicks in today.

      >The Entry-Exit System (EES) for travel to the Schengen area requires third-party nationals – including British citizens – to have facial photos and fingerprints taken on arrival at EU borders.

      >The phased launch of the system, which started in October and has led to airport queues of up to seven hours, ends during the peak Easter holidays, sparking fears of major delays from increased processing times.

      Ive gone through these checks a few times now its simple. Turn and face dont smile. Then fingers on pad.

      Meanwhile the EU Passports are going through the E-gates

      I may have a language-comprehension problem, but as I read this sentence, I don’t think Spain, Greece and Germany are hit at all as counties. It’s the few non EU citizens who are hit.

      I’m all for the new entry exit system if it worked. As it stands though, I’ve had to register for it 5 times so far this year as it never recognises that i’m already registered. Its a joke

      We need to finally sign a deal with the UK to end this ETA/EES/ETIAS. If Canada and the US can have a mutual deal on easier border crossings, so can we.

      Maybe I’m lucky, but I haven’t had any major delays (Lisbon being the exception, because they’re just slow there) in travelling to/from the EU. Rome, Athens and Dusseldorf have all been fine.

      Even with these new checks, I’m still there waiting for my suitcase!

      I still want my passport stamps though damn it!

      They had more than enough time to implement EES. Stop whining and get on with it.

      The system on the EU side is very unclear and badly implemented. I recently went and the fingerprint scanner failed on 9/10 people and the e-gates are incredibly slow (for EU citizens as well). On the way out I also had to get my passport stamped (as well as do the fingerprint scanning and e-gates) which I thought this process was supposed to prevent?

      Conversely the UK system seems to just work as do the ones in other non EU countries.

      Say what you like about Brexit but there is no excuse for this from the EU. The UK border allows EU citizens (and even US citizens) to use the e-gates, yet the EU doesn’t allow UK citizens to do the same. As much as some commentators would like to paint this as a natural consequence of Brexit, this is entirely a choice made by the EU.

      It’s worth noting, however, that the implementation of these checks actually has nothing to do with Brexit at all, it’s just that UK citizens wouldn’t previously have been affected.

      So the BRITS got in the queue, not the countries. Is a russian bot writing these headlines lately?

      I presume this won’t count for countries in the EU who aren’t part of Schengen like Ireland, or ones in Schengen like Switzerland but not in the EU?
