Hi all coming out next week. Is it taking a long time to get through customs or is it pot luck? Regards john wheaton

Think it’s pot luck at the moment. Here is a thread regarding it:

EES at Alicante airport

Let us know how you get on when you travel.

Pot luck I think some days it’s better than others and I still have not had my EES fingerprints done as the machines were not working properly, but some did manage to get them done. The weirdest thing ever

I think you are confusing Customs with passport control.

Cheers, J

We came through on the 9th and it was chaos,compared to normal, took us about an hour,it’s all to do with the fingerprint machines that are not working correctly,so you then have to go in another queue and go through the normal passport control.you get out there eventually.good luck and enjoy your stay.
