Why travel feels harder than ever - when it should be easier

Travel has become increasingly complicated despite advancements in technology and infrastructure, with issues like the EU's new Entry Exit System causing long queues and missed flights. The system, meant to streamline border checks, has been plagued by problems and is disrupting travel plans.
Modern air travel has made global destinations more accessible than ever, with online booking and digital payments simplifying the process. However, travel is becoming increasingly complicated, with issues like the EU's new Entry Exit System (EES) causing long queues and missed flights. The EES, implemented in the Schengen Area, has been problematic, with transport bosses calling for a temporary pause during peak travel periods.

The combination of these challenges is making travel more difficult, despite technological advancements. The EU's EES rollout has been criticized for being rushed, with concerns raised during its initial implementation.
