Welcome home Anita,what a nightmare @ the airport,we're lucky as we're from the Schengen area so no checks!!Hope you had a lovely time @ the concert & with the family.. Sorry we missed you on Friday,hopefully we'll catch you next time around,take care of yourselves & keep well😊
Hi anita, we have missed yiu, great video, and glad you're back safe. Look forward to another video you both together in palma nova. Hope you are rested after the stress at the airport. I think most airports are same this time of the year.
Hola Steve@Anita, wow what a journey and so late when all you want to do is get home to bed....It looks manic there at the moment will be even worse when the children break up for the holidays.. at least you spent time with your adorable grandchildren... bye for now....
Loved when you told Luna she did a great job “darling“ with your roller bag. I thought of Joanna Lumley’s character Patsy from AbFab right away. Ha ha Welcome home Anita.
What an awful experience, it really puts me off flying. Come on Palma airport get your act together, I think more staff are needed. Well welcome back. Thanks Steve and Anita.
Good video. This airport is really startimg to put me off going to Mm ajorca now. every year it seems there is some issue. I doubt they will sort it out, otherwhse they would have done so by now. All it needs is planning. They know how many flights they have coming its not rocket science.
An hour and fifteen minutes through passport control? We normally sail through. Is there any reason for this? We are flying next Wednesday on an early flight 😊
It doesn't matter which airport you go to the issue is ALWAYS passport control every single time. When we returned to the Uk a week ago from Mahon in Minorca they had to start picking people out of the line going to Bristol or they would have missed the flight.
The delays are not very good. Although the gates are "automatic self serve", staff are still required because an awful lot of people don't know how to use them or follow the instructions so they get stuck and the staff have to do it for them. Staff cost money, hence the lack of them (and closed gates) at certain times. Unfortunately the UK voted to leave the EU so passports have to be checked. Even before Brexit, passports were checked at Palma albeit just given a glance.
The UK didn't join the Schengen area, even when they were in the EU. The passport stamping should stop in October, when the whole system becomes electronic.
How awful Anita that was a long time to queue at passport control I'm visiting Mallorca at end of the month do EU passport holders go through the same area
The EU and UK need to sit down and sort out a visa waiver scheme so that people don't have to go through all this stupid rigmarol for tourists travelling either way. Madness. Time the UK pulled itself back towards the EU.
People seem to have forgotten that before Spain was in the EU travellers from the UK had to fill in landing cards on the plane before they arrived. Brexit has brought back the border controls and more!
Look at your big, beaming smile at the end. Happy to have Anita home 💙🩷
It's good to have her back

Fantastic work Anita you did a brilliant job showing what needs to be done at the airport ❤xx
Thank you. Such a mess at the airport!!
It will ve interesting to see how they cope with the summer rush
Hi anita, we have missed yiu, great video, and glad you're back safe. Look forward to another video you both together in palma nova. Hope you are rested after the stress at the airport.
I think most airports are same this time of the year.
Thank you Marian
It's great to have Anita home. Airport delays are the last thing you need, especially at that time of night.
We are off to the airport again tonight!
Nice to see you doing a video, Anita. Oh those hugs when you left your grand daughters 🤗 I also think Palma airport is an unorganised maze now.
It is so sad saying goodbye... But I will see them again soon!
They need to get it sorted before we get to the high season

Pleased you are back home Anita. Palma Airport is one extremely crazy place!
Thank you and it really is!
We will be back to the airport tomorrow!
I do the same journey on the 17th hope it not like that. Thanks for the update.
If you are arriving from the UK.... be prepared.
Welcome back Anita. So glad I won't be using Palma this year. Let's hope it improves!!
I will be using it a lot more, so let's see how, and if, it improves!!
The electronic system is due to come in in October, finger prints, photographs as well as passport checks.
Loved when you told Luna she did a great job “darling“ with your roller bag. I thought of Joanna Lumley’s character Patsy from AbFab right away. Ha ha Welcome home Anita.
Thanks Jonnie
Thank you.. They are all my darlings!!
What an awful experience, it really puts me off flying. Come on Palma airport get your act together, I think more staff are needed. Well welcome back. Thanks Steve and Anita.
Thanks Diane, Anita said that there was one man stamping passports!
I agree. They really need to do something!!
Nice, we go to Can Picafort next week
It is getting warm for you
Have a good holiday.

It will change in October when they remove the need for passport stamping.

It will depend on how many non-EU flights there are arriving.

It is so much simpler flying to other parts of Europe where there are no passport controls.

The airport never changed..slow
Wait until we hit high season!
Very true!!
we were very lucky when we came through airport begin of may very short wait, they could do with more security gates open to speed things up
It seems to vary a lot. Anita spoke to someone today whou went through quickly.

If you are flying from a non-Schengen country, you will have to go through passport control.
Joseph and today
THanks for watching
Am sure you were very tired. Especially as the children would have had you up early
She was very tired!!!
