The travel misery being experienced by many British tourists at UK airports is being replicated when they arrive at their destination, according to complaints on social media.
There were claims of long queues and some travellers having to wait up to three hours to get through passport control in Spain, including holiday hotspots such as Majorca, Alicante and Malaga. This is due to the extra checks needed at passport control since Brexit.
UK holidaymakers are only allowed to remain in the Schengen area (a free movement area made up of 26 countries including Spain) for 90 out of 180 days. Every passenger must get their passport inspected manually and date-stamped by police on arrival and departure.
