E gates used in Portugal now!

Yes the Portuguese have opened gates for passport control for Brits, kiwis and a few others. Should reduce queueing although I guess you stilll have to get a stamp or the gate registers it electronically. Spain hopefully will follow!

Malaga airport needs to install that system immediately. Cant believe only Portugal have had the foresight to install it.

Due to be used from May here, but whether they are ready or not I don't know. Called the EES system and I understand that all Schengen countries would be having them.
