Like everything else concerning the benefits of Brex1t I'm getting used to the queues.

Several EU Countries are not ready.

It was on the European news last week.

When they have installed, tested and signed off the kit I expect it will be a goer.

The OP suggested it might never happen.

Ironically it might be easier firt thise with an EU spouse. At the moment if you have an EU spouse the 90/180 is not dsuppose to apply when traveling together or traveling to meet each other. Some Scandinavian countries are not respecting this and trying to throw spouses out after 90 days. When you apply for your EU ESTA you register as the spouse of an EU citizen and that should tie in with the EES and so the harassment should stop.

However, this year to people i know were medically evacuated from the EU and were flown out without checking out.

How I love those long queues just to get checked in and that is before they allow you to find you luggage.

Just done two International flights, no trouble or major queues for check in or passport control. If you have hold luggage you might have to queue a little, but it is no big deal.

You must be lucky. Spent 2.5 hours queueing for passports to get in to Hamburg to pick up a yacht for delivery in August, 2 hours to get in to the US last week due to immigration.

Neither had a carnet which will add hours to that. (Heathrow being the worst)

Having an EU spouse generally doesn't make passport control any easier as we're often split up into different lanes for EU and UK passports. Having a residence card avoids having passport stamped and we won't have to register for ETIAS when that's supposed to be up and running next year but, anyone arriving without their EU spouse/partner and no residence card, will most likely have passport stamped.
