Britons face 5-hour airport queues in Spain with no-deal Brexit
British tourists to Spain could face airport queues of 5 hours or more after a no-deal Brexit, according to analysis by Which?, and the consumer group suggests travellers should take food, water and even nappies to survive prolonged delays. Alicante airport, which serves Benidorm and other Costa Blanca resorts, is likely to be the worst-affected airport, and Which? said visitors to Tenerife, Lanzarote and Málaga were also facing “life in the slow lane”. It calculated that if airports spent only 90 seconds making extra checks on each UK passport, it would take a single passport lane in an EU airport 5 hours longer to process a Ryanair flight with 189 UK passengers on board. Alicante is likely to be worst hit because 43% of its arrivals are from the UK. <br/>
