Only way to avoid missing a flight because of EES rules: squeeze everything into a cabin bag and skip luggage check-in
Travellers to the EU risk missing their flights because bag drop-off times don’t allow for the long queues to get through a new security system.
My family of four missed our easyJet flight home from Málaga because, although we followed advice from the airport and arrived three hours before departure, the bag drop-off didn’t open until two hours before.
It took a further 47 minutes to drop our luggage due to the queues. This left 53 minutes to clear security and reach the gate.
With two young children and a backlog at security, this proved impossible. Five other passengers also failed to board.
