As the European Union's Entry-Exit System (EES) comes into effect, travelers heading to the bloc are bracing for a potential holiday headache. The new system, which aims to strengthen border security and track non-EU nationals, has been met with concerns over its operational readiness. According to the head of Berlin's airport, holidaymakers can expect lengthy wait times as the system is put to the test. With the peak summer travel season just around the corner, the EES's ability to handle the influx of passengers will be put to the ultimate test.
