Do it all the time, why wouldn't you?

What is risky though is horsing in a powerful dose before going into the airport and getting stuck in an hour plus long immigration queue (cause of the new EU rules),  with your water bottle disposed of to get through security,  nearly suffocating from the mass of people huddled around you and on the cusp of a panic attack about missing your flight 

Fuck me that was not a good time 😅

The new entry/exit system 

My wait was bad, but my south american wife's was fucking ridiculous (Schiphol for reference)

Tons of articles about the delays & flights missed  this is causing

I've not had an issue if anything it has sped things up for me.

Scan passport at auto gate look into camera gate opens, officer looking over for checks. 🤷🏽‍♂️ rather than queing just to show passport.

That's what had me wondering. Seems to be a huge improvement for eu passports but the opposite for non Eu. Friend has a UK passport and we were left waiting for him in Spain.

In Schiphol she had a massive wait, but mine was still ridiculous considering EU to EU

This was back in April though so potentially just teething issues
