ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Will you face border queues at airports this summer?

Images of distressed British travellers who missed flights home because of long queues caused by Entry/Exit System (EES) border checks have understandably made people nervous.

In this episode of Which? Shorts, our travel editor answers your questions about EES checks at European airports to help you prepare for a flight to the EU this summer.

He explains who’s affected, whether or not you should be worried, and if there’s anything you can do to prepare.

This episode is read by Rory Boland and is based on an article he wrote, originally published in the July/August 2026 issue of Which? Travel.
