Britons travelling home via EU airports ‘should allow three hours’ before flights
Entry-exit system which replaces passport stamps with digital registration causing huge delays at border checks British passengers returning home via European airports should arrive three hours before their flights are due to depart, an airline boss has advised, amid concerns about new security procedures causing large queues. The EU entry-exit system (EES), which replaces passport stamps with a digital registration, has been gradually been introduced in Europe since October
Travelers heading back to the UK through European airports are being advised to arrive at least three hours before their scheduled flights. This recommendation comes in response to significant delays being experienced at border control. The delays are attributed to the new European Union's Entry-Exit System (EES), which digitally registers travelers instead of using traditional passport stamps. This system, fully implemented last month after a phased rollout since October 2025, has reportedly led to substantial queues at various airports.
The new EU border system is causing significant travel disruptions for Britons returning home, potentially leading to missed flights if travelers do not account for the extended check-in times.
