UK on verge of deal with EU to let Britons use European passport e-gates
Briefly

British holidaymakers could experience shorter airport queues this summer as negotiations near an agreement for UK passport holders to use e-gates in Europe. Downing Street indicated talks are ongoing to allow British travelers similar access as EU citizens, which would eliminate the current two-queue system. This change aims to ease the burden on British families facing lengthy wait times at airports. The agreement is part of broader discussions leading up to a crucial UK-EU summit focused on security, with hopes of implementing these measures before new systems requiring biometric data for entry are established in October.
An agreement enabling British travellers to use European e-gates could reduce airport queueing times considerably, lifting the requirement for passport stamping.
Discussions are underway for British passport holders to access e-gates in EU airports, streamlining the entry process for holidaymakers.
