"Of the 156 passengers booked on the flight, it is reported that only 34 managed to board. The rest (122 people) were abandoned at Milan's Linate airport, scrambling to find a way to get home."
"The Manchester-based Hume family, for example, told The Independent that they had arrived at the departure lounge three hours ahead of time, heeding the airline's warning of lengthy waiting times."
"We got here at seven-thirty for our flight at eleven so were super early. We got to Border Control and it was a massive queue of people."
The introduction of the EU's new Entry/Exit System resulted in severe delays for easyJet passengers traveling from Milan to Manchester. Only 34 out of 156 passengers managed to board their flight due to hours-long queues at border control. Many passengers faced health issues from the heat and had to pay exorbitant fees for alternative flights. Families reported spending thousands on new travel arrangements, with some arriving at their destination a day later than planned. The situation highlighted the challenges posed by the new border checks.
