Holidaymakers are being advised to prepare for possible lengthy airport hold-ups arriving in Spain amid the latest travel crackdown on UK passport-holders. The latest warning follows guidelines issued by the UK Foreign Office which said the popular holiday destination was toughening entry restrictions for 'third-country' visitors, including Britons.
Tourists arriving at popular holiday airports such as Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza and Alicante have already reported long queues during peak periods because of a shortage of border control staff and passports having to be stamped because of Brexit.
Now officials have appealed to holidaymakers to show patience amid any hold-ups during the current wave of strikes and new rules implemented for arrivals from the UK.
