This really doesn’t add up. Who was performing these hard passport checks? An airline employee? Where was your flight originating from/going to?

- DyslexicAtheist 5y agoit was done by a customs official. long queue and everyone on the plane had to do it every time that I was there. I've never entered the UK without having to go through this. Dublin -> Heathrow Frankfurt -> Heathrow Stockholm -> Heathrow ... and as I said I have seen similar things arriving in Frankfurt (in 2017 and 2018) and other places (Dublin -> Zagreb etc)
- ryanlol 5y agoNone of these routes were within Schengen, of course you’re going through border control when flying to the UK.
- Scoundreller 5y agoFrance does them. Can confirm on flights from Brussels and Frankfurt. Allowed “Temporarily” under “extenuating” circumstances and “only as a last resort”, so they renew it every year and have provided zero proof of its effectiveness. It’s just theatre. If they applied it to road traffic too, then, okay, fine at the airport too. But checking passports of people coming in from a neighbouring country by air only is beyond stupid. https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/what-we-do/policies/borders-and-visas/schengen/reintroduction-border-control_en https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/what-we-do/policies/border... Extra do-nothing jobs at Toulouse airport that receives few non-Schengen flights.
