British holidaymakers have complained of hours-long queues at one of Portugal’s biggest airports.
Passengers said staff shortages and malfunctioning e-gates led to the delays at Faro Airport, which is a gateway to popular resort destinations on the Algarve.
Children were said to have left in tears and one passenger had passed out while waiting.
Yvette Hughes wrote on X: “What the hell is going on? 3 and a half hour’s queuing through security.
“My knees are swollen, someone has passed out, children are crying. Not a bit of information from anyone.”
