About this episode

The episode discusses the chaos caused by the new EU EES biometric system leading to significant travel delays for passengers at Porto Airport.

A 22-year-old traveler from Salford missed his easyJet flight home from Portugal after hours-long delays at Porto Airport caused by the new EU EES biometric system — a chaotic mess leaving passengers stranded, flights missed, and costly last-minute ticket purchases. With queues stretching up to an hour and only a few gates open for hundreds, the system meant to streamline travel is backfiring across Europe. Airlines are calling it unacceptable, and UK holidaymakers heading to Europe this summer face serious delays — nearly three in five could be affected, with some airports reporting waits of up to three hours.
