Jet2 has shared a message to reassure holidaymakers<\/a> concerned about airport transfers and passport control queues at Spanish airports.<\/a> In recent weeks, British tourists<\/a> heading to the popular destination have reported lengthy waits following the introduction of the European Union’s new Entry\/Exit System.<\/p>\n

In response, airport authority AENA has reportedly instructed staff to take every possible step to speed up the process and cut waiting times. With border control queues causing concern, travellers have also been reaching out to airlines on social media to establish what to do in a worst-case scenario.<\/p>\n

One Jet2 customer recently turned to the travel firm on X for guidance. @Jet2tweets regularly provides assistance to both Jet2.com and Jet2holidays passengers via social media.<\/p>\n

In a post on April 28, a passenger called Laura wrote: “With the crazy queues at Spanish airports to get through passport control, can you guarantee that I won\u2019t miss my transfer bus? Thanks.”<\/p>\n

Jet2 responded: “Hi Laura, any congestion caused by passport control our airport team will be aware of and will make sure there is a plan in place, so customer do not miss their transfers. Thanks, Gemma.”<\/p>\n

In another message, Laura continued: “Thanks Gemma. Last time it took nearly 3 hours to get through – I\u2019m hoping there won\u2019t be any issues even if it\u2019s that long?” Jet2 replied: “Rest assured our team will be aware of any congestion and plans will be in place.”<\/p>\n

Passengers requiring transfers can access further details about the service via the Jet2holidays website, with airport-to-hotel transport included with every Jet2holidays booking. The website states: “You\u2019ll be met at the airport by our friendly Red Team who\u2019ll then show you to your coach. Once onboard, you\u2019ll be informed whether you are the first, second or third stop.<\/p>\n

“Coach transfer information will be available in the Jet2 app when you land in your destination. We’ll also send it by SMS. Whether you have a coach, private or adapted transfer, our friendly Red Team will be on hand to guide you and help you on your way.”<\/p>\n

The EU’s Entry\/Exit System (EES) requires visitors from non-member countries such as the UK to have their fingerprints recorded and a photograph captured to enter the Schengen Area, which comprises 29 European countries, predominantly within the EU. While the new system was initially introduced in October, it became fully operational on April 10, 2026.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Mark Tanzer, Chief Executive of ABTA \u2013 The Travel Association, said: “The ambition of a project like EES means it was never going to go completely smoothly, and we were prepared for that.<\/p>\n

“However, what is frustrating is that border authorities have it within their power to ease queues and deal with issues as they arise \u2013 but that doesn’t seem to be happening across the board. As we head towards peak travel periods, we’re urging border authorities to plan for busy periods and use the contingency measure available. It’s critical the Commission keeps a close eye on this.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British holidaymakers flying to Spain have reported long passport control queues The airline is popular with passengers in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[333,818,8053,2124,17,4202],"class_list":{"0":"post-13352","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-european-union","9":"tag-holidays","10":"tag-jet-2","11":"tag-social-media","12":"tag-spain","13":"tag-transport"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
