    TBH: Fuck those border guards. Fuck those security guys. Fuck airlines and fuck airports. They do know which flights are starting every day. They are collecting our data. We forced to enter names, addresses and nationalities into their websites in order to book a ticket. That is going into some international surveillance dystopia.

    This is totally a planable demand. You know that the 747 to Paris will start at 14:33 with boarding closing at 13:50 and that 221 EU citizen and 112 Non-EU citizen are scheduled to be on there and that they will arrive in the hours before boarding. So why the fuck do they not have the staff available to do whatever they are checking in a reasonable time? Yes, there might be that one guy causing trouble, but that is also expected an can be dealt with. A six-hour wait? That is failing at their job and whoever is introducing a six hour wait time at an airport should be banned from ever running an airport again.

      Also some counties (idk about the uk) have started letting you fill out your immigration forms on your phone so when you get up front to turn your head and cough you can theoretically get through faster.

        You are advised by airlines & agencies to have the forms ready before travel, in my experience
