Chaos at Schiphol yesterday; the baggage conveyor system in Terminal 2 stopped working.  They reckon they'll take until after the new Year in order to get everyone's baggage to them; never mind bloody Brexit, where's my goodies for Xmas?

Yes, chaos reigns.  I expect the EES will be delayed.  There's supposed to be a tranche of countries implementing early next year.   They say 3h queues will not be unusual.  Not good.  Lack of staff, technology breakdowns and blah-blah.  Apparently only 10% of travellers will be able to use EES.  There's going to have to be a way of bringing UK passport holders into the e-gate system.  They can do it in the UK, so why not elsewhere?  It might not help us who have Residence Permits - these are scanned as well by humans.


Your goodies must be hanging about at the airport deteriorating.  I'd be really unhappy if my vla or vlaai was missing or ruined.   I loved that stuff.  Maybe they'll forward it in a taxi.
