Passport warning for UK holidaymakers heading to Spain

Holidaymakers travelling to Spain from the UK are being urged to check their passports when arriving and exiting the country. Previously the Spanish government said Brits could use the automated border control eGates at airports in an effort to ease long queues.

After Brexit UK passengers had to use the manual non-EU queue to enter and exit Spain. But several airports across the country have reversed the rule so they could continue to use the automated eGates instead, Liverpool Echo reports.

In a tweet Spain’s tourist board said: "British Citizens can now use the Automated Border Control eGates for Schengen passport holders at select Spanish Airports: Alicante, Barcelona, Bilbao, Girona, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Lanzarote, Madrid, Málaga, Mallorca, Menorca, Valencia, Fuerteventura, Sevilla, Tenerife Sur."
