TUI, EasyJet, Jet2 and BA issue major airport and flight update to passengers
Major airlines including TUI, EasyJet, Jet2, and BA have issued travel updates due to lengthy queues at European airports caused by the EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES). Passengers are advised to arrive early at airports to account for potential delays.
Major airlines have issued travel updates following the launch of the EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES), which requires Brits traveling to the Schengen area to create a digital record and register biometric details. The EES was fully implemented on April 10, resulting in lengthy border control queues at European and UK airports. TUI, EasyJet, and Jet2 have all cautioned passengers to arrive early at airports to account for potential delays. The registration process involves providing fingerprints and a photograph, and remains valid for three years. Airlines have advised passengers to allow extra time when passing through border control and to be prepared for potential hold-ups. Passengers are also urged to keep essential medication in their hand luggage and to head straight to passport control after dropping their bags to avoid delays.
