Meet EES, the EU’s new entry/exit system, also known as your trip’s final challenge before officially being out of office.
The brand-new biometric border checkpoint system was fully launched on April 10, requiring fingerprint and facial recognition scans to move about the 29 participating countries in the Schengen Area. Additionally, it requires entry and exit dates for travelers from outside of Europe, including Brits.
According to live queue data on WeGo, the most impacted hubs of popular travel have been Paris CDG and Geneva, with both reaching up to four-hour waits. Meanwhile, three-hour delays have hit destinations such as Vienna, Brussels, Madrid, Barcelona, and Palma.
What to do to survive Europe’s EES mess
So if you’re a non-EU traveler, this goes for Americans, Brits, Canadians, or Australians, for example, and you’re booked to visit bucket list places, chances are you’re going to hit a snag due to the new system. Travelers arriving from Britain via Dover have been given a reprieve due to excessive heat at the Channel crossing, as reported by The Guardian; EES checks at the border have been temporarily suspended.
