Britons travelling home via EU airports ‘should allow three hours’ before flights
The EU's new Entry-Exit System (EES), replacing passport stamps with digital registration, has caused significant delays at European airports, prompting an airline boss to advise British travelers to arrive three hours early. The system, fully operational since last month, has led to large queues at border checks.
