Are you sure your passport wasn’t checked?
What you’re describing sounds like it was the customs check. Pre-brexit, if you were arriving from the EU, then there was no customs check since we were all part of the same customs union.
The usual flow is
immigration check -> baggage collection -> customs check
- aprdm 11mo agoYeah wasn’t checked. I’m pretty sure it was a smaller airport than Heathrow. I definitely went through the wrong path out
- ssdspoimdsjvv 11mo agoPerhaps your passport was checked on departure instead of on arrival? At least that's how it worked when taking the Eurostar train.
- strbean 11mo agoEven if they did check his passport, he didn't have an EU passport so probably shouldn't have been allowed to skip customs.
- sksksk 11mo agoFrom a customs perspective, flying from one EU country to another EU is treated like a domestic flight. If I (a British citizen) flew from London to New York, then on to Chicago; I'd expect to go through customs when I arrived at New York, but not when I arrived at Chicago.
- strbean 11mo agoAh, good point.
