I think it may not just be Palma, i read on FB that someone had similar delays i Paris last weekend.

I think it's all over - both arriving and departing. No problems at all going from Glasgow to Menorca; or departing from Menorca - but horrendous queues at Glasgow passport control. This was late June.

Thank heavens we're leaving the EU (light blue touch paper and stand back)..

I don't think it will make any difference, here is a quote from the MDB report :-

This involves much stricter physical passport controls for non-European Union and Schengen residents, such as the British.

Not sure I agree that the delays are not connected to Brexit - ask the residents of Gibraltar what they think about border delays by Spanish immigration.

Anyone come through into Majorca today?

Given how late Easyjet can be and the possible delay, i dread my potential wait to pick up my daughter this eve.

She was waved straight through like in the good old days! Phew!!!

But we have friends arriving at about 11 ish today, so let's hope.

Publicity is the best thing

When we were wilting in the queue to leave lots of people were taking pics of the queues which though we waited 45 mins to leave the queues behind us were getting worse

Have seen a lot of pics like this published I think although check in was a bit slow security was quick and this came as a shock and as we know it well we decided not to have a coffee and get some water until in Gate A area if we had stopped I doubt if we would have been on our flight !

Daughter came through yesterday, they were back to their old ways, waved her through didn't even look at her. Hope it's like that next Saturday night for us.

Sailed through departures just now - no problems at security or passport control, but there's a massive queue at passport control for those people arriving. Queuing as far back as Burger King. Still, I'd rather be arriving than leaving!

Cousin reports 1.5 hours to leave yesterday late morning.

Arrived at 8pm last night, only 15 minutes at pasport control this time.

According to MDB there will be extra Police on Duty at the gates for British flights due to the number of flights arriving at similar times.

At the airport now (Sat 3:30pm) on the way home ��

Breezed through security and passport control, however the queue for those arriving to get through passport control stretches all the way back past the Carlsberg Pub and is growing fast - must be well over an hour to get through????

We breezed through when we arrived around lunchtime on Sunday 23rd. No queue at all.

There were long queues leaving yesterday. It obviously can still be a problem.

Son coming out to apartment on Tuesday - any news on the queues going through passport control?

 

[Janey]

Coming out on Saturday 2nd September and already stressing about these queues!!! Please all keep this thread updated?

My daughter and family touched down at 1740 yesterday and left the airport in their pre-booked taxi at 1805.
