Brits stuck in queues at passport control Malaga airport
#Brexit
makes passage through European airports painfully long as all non-EU passports have to be stamped in and out. Never let Tory tub-thumpers tell you UK passport is better than European one! *Liars*

I got clobbered in Bologna in the non-EU queue last week - took over an hour - we used to skip thru in five minutes before 2020. Shame.

My wife and I romped into Bologna last week without ever having to show a document at all. Which is just as well as she'd left her passport and national ID at home in Sweden. ๐

Husband did that once on the way to Le Mans. No problem on the way out. Trying to get an overtired bedraggled racing driver back was character building. He has never done it again

took my brother in law an hour and a half to get through passport control at Bologna due to checks on his now Brexit required work visa, he was late for his meetings and had to stay overnight as he missed his return flight due to meetings finishing later than expected

It turns out Melindi is a bit of a snob. Not surprising really because the Upper class voted almost exclusively for Brexit. The upper middle class almost as much.

As we did in Naples last year. Having heard all the horror stories, we expected queues, there was only one - at the EU gate but we Brits sped through ours. And by the way, I love having my passport stamped!

Standard for probably 99.9% of us TBH. Voted remain myself but bored rigid of the airport queue and empty supermarket shelves pics - neither of which I've ever experienced ๐คท

It's what happens when you turn yourselves into a third country, you obviously were fortunate on your journey.
It's going to get worse when the new checks come in thanks to leaving the EU.
I'm afraid it was the brexit that man voted for, he just didn't listen to the experts ๐คจ

You're not suggesting that's a fake picture are you Melinda?
It depends what country, airport, time of year, day, time
Ofc in some places at certain times in certain circumstances there won't be much difference
Cos it's not busy
Like going to Tesco on a Wed am not Sat am
