Electronic authorisation required for EU travel from 2025

Were they using eGates for pre-registered folk?

I can’t be certain but I don’t think so. All non-EU went to the kiosks and then we went through eGates after doing the questions, photo and finger prints.

So if I’ve pre-registered (photo / finger prints) somewhere else prior, I should be able to go direct to the eGates.

We’re entering (hopefully) via MXP but then heading to the UK and back to the EU also via AGP.

Decided to bid for upgrade on TAP from Lisbon tomorrow. Cheap bid and successful. Hopefully reduces some of the angst.

just arrived in BRU from HKG - only EU/EEA/CH via EES, everyone else manually processed, including transfers (most EES kiosks closed/off) - almost 2h queue, bad enough that water and Biscoff biscuits were handed out:

I guess I made the right call then.

My transfer at AMS from TK to BA (instead of using BRU) was seam free, and I was in the One World lounge within 20 minutes of exiting the arriving aircraft.

But wouldn’t that be exempt from any sort of passport control? Non-schengen to non-schengen?
