It's good news that Ibiza isn't yet affected - is this because their security systems are perfect already...or is it because these "new systems" that are causing the delays aren't yet in place at the airport?
I always travel off-peak (ie never in July/August) and that's to avoid the inevitable "let's hammer the tourists by having strikes" season from air traffic controllers to baggage handlers. And the place is too crowded for my liking anyway!!
Anyhow - very rarely have I lost time at security, passport and so on there - however if hold-ups of over an hour become commonplace then I'll take my cash elsewhere.
Whilst this isn't specifically an EU thing - it's s system in place to check non-Schengen citizens entering/leaving Schengen countries, I voted to remain as I saw this kind of thing coming - and just now the only way to avoid it would be for the UK (even if we do, eventually, leave the EU) to join the Schengen zone - but we won't as that involves freedom of movement acceptance (I think).
Yes, it's bizarre that the UK's worst rags have been moaning that Europe's borders are too open, yet when security is intensified they whinge and moan about getting what they asked for. Pillocks.
Could always get the train to Barcelona and fly domestically I suppose....if I got the ferry I might pass too much of the time drinking....
