easyJet is urging passengers travelling to Spain, among numerous other destinations, to follow six key steps.

The airline issued an update earlier this month, with over 100 airports affected.

It all stems from a significant rule change introduced following Brexit. In an "important update" shared on April 1, easyJet warned that queue times may be impacted.

easyJet said: "Airports across Europe may experience longer queues at passport control whilst the new European Entry/Exit System (EES) border checks are being completed. This will mean you may need to have your biometrics taken including your face and fingerprints scanned."

To ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible, easyJet advises passengers to do the following:

• Plan your travel to and through the airport, as you may experience longer queues


• If you need to go to Bag Drop, go there as soon as it opens


• Make your way through security as early as possible


• Be aware that there may be additional checks at passport control before your gate


• Head to the gate or boarding area as soon as it's announced


• Make sure you have the correct documents to travel

The airline further added: "You may experience longer queues in your arrival airport".

The EES applies to 29 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
