Jet2 Updates Check-in Bag Rules for Passengers to Europe

Jet2 gives online help.

Jet2 told passengers about checking in bags in Europe. The airline answered questions on social media about long lines at a European airport.

The EU's new Entry/Exit System started on April 10, 2026. It uses digital records instead of passport stamps.

This system is for non-EU travelers, including British citizens, visiting 29 countries for up to 90 days. They must give biometric information like facial scans and fingerprints.

This data is kept for three years and checked when they leave. The European Commission says it takes about 70 seconds to register a traveler.

The EES has faced criticism for long registration times, causing delays and long lines. Some passengers are worried about waiting times at EU border checks.

A person asked Jet2 if they will open check-in desks earlier at Faro Airport in Portugal. They were concerned about long security passport lines.

Jet2 replied that the EES registration should take around 1-2 minutes per person. They are watching the situation and trying to minimize the impact on journeys.

Jet2 said they won't open check-in desks earlier for now. If this changes, they will contact passengers directly.

Passengers are contacting the airline on social media.

Faro Airport's website says passengers should arrive early due to possible border control constraints. They warn of longer waiting times.

The airport recommends that passengers on international flights arrive early to avoid problems.
