Thanks.
Glad I did it now on a 6am flight rather than a TUI flight full of beered up Brits, that would be entertaining to watch😂😂

See post 13 
Those digital booths are useless

Done this in Spain over the weekend. Process to register/ get in was a bit of a faff but no dramas:
1. Queue up to complete digital form and provide finger prints and photo
2. Queue up to go through digital barrier using passport
3. Queue up to get a stamp from one person in the usual passport control booth.
The way out was much better...
1. Digital barriers were broken so we all walked straight through them to get a stamp from the person in the booth
Does anyone know if that means I'm sorted for travel all over Europe now?

Me at the end of April , but Newhaven is a step back in time which I find great , but will have to update their squeaky wire gates to accommodate this system

Newhaven is the back door of England Nick..! I expect Dieppe will have it, they didn't in November but I'm sure over the winter they will.
No major delays flying with the new system for me so far..

That's correct, 10th April (see post 8), will be interested to know how you get on

I wonder if Newhaven will have it. Travelling in April but that place is like going back in time to the 1950s with their two little wooden border force sheds

I don't believe this kicks in for the euro tunnel until April this year
Off to France late April so will let you all know how we get on

It is a 1 off, lasts 3 years apparently.
Enjoy your trip, sounds like a very efficient EES there

I've just arrived in Iceland who are in the Schengen area for 4 nights.
They implemented this new scheme on arrival.
I don't know how many a 737 plane holds but almost everyone had to register.
We were told that it was a one off process and so we were prepared for a long delay
We needn't have worried, the Icelandic's were very efficient, loads of staff at passport control, it took no more than 2 minutes max per person.
The Icelandic's come across as a nice bunch and as they rely on tourism it makes sense that they don't want to piss anyone off.
Whether other countries will be the same remains to be seen, but I'm all done now so it won't be me finding out.
