Athens passport queues strand Ryanair travellers bound for London Luton
Ryanair passengers bound for London Luton were left behind in Athens as passport-control queues and extra border checks caused delays, with the flight departing about an hour late after missing passengers had to be rebooked; Ryanair cited border-control delays, while Athens airports noted high passenger volumes and new processing requirements tied to non-Schengen travel, underscoring broader delays linked to the EU’s Entry/Exit System.
