⚠️ Latest Travel Updates

✈️ EU Border Delays Surge After EES Launch: What UK Travellers Should Expect

The European Union’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) is now fully in place — but early rollout issues are causing significant disruption at airports across Europe. UK travellers are reporting much longer wait times at border control, with some queues stretching up to several hours in major hubs like France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. The delays are linked to the new biometric checks, where passengers must register fingerprints and a facial scan on arrival.

While the system is designed to speed up future travel, the initial adjustment period is proving challenging. Processing times per passenger are higher than expected, especially during busy periods, and some travellers have already missed flights due to extended queues. If you’re travelling to Europe soon, it’s strongly recommended to allow extra time at the airport, stay patient, and be prepared for a slower arrival process. Over time, once your biometric data is stored, future trips should become quicker and more streamlined.

💡Top Travel Tip

Sorting your airport transfer before you travel can save you time, money, and a lot of stress when you land.

After a flight, the last thing you want is negotiating prices, waiting in long taxi queues, or figuring out unfamiliar or unregistered transport — especially in a new destination or late at night.

Pre-booking means fixed pricing, no surprises, and a driver ready and waiting when you arrive. Many services also track your flight, so even if you’re delayed, your transfer will still be there.

Using trusted providers like Holiday Extras also gives you added peace of mind, with free cancellation on many bookings, a price guarantee, and access to highly rated, reliable transfer options worldwide.

💡 Tip: Pre-booking your transfer is one of the easiest ways to start your trip smoothly — especially in busy or unfamiliar destinations.
