EES Lines Are Getting Longer. SkyVIP Helps You Move Faster

What is EES — and how does SkyVIP help?
The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) adds a new biometric border-check process for many non-Schengen travelers. That can mean extra steps at the airport. SkyVIP helps make the process smoother with personal Meet & Greet assistance.
New biometric checks
EES introduces a digital border check that may require photo and fingerprint registration for eligible travelers entering Europe.
Extra time at the airport
Because EES adds new steps, passengers may face longer lines, more waiting, and more confusion at busy airports.
How SkyVIP helps
A SkyVIP greeter personally guides you through the airport, helps you navigate the EES process and biometric kiosks, and escorts you onward with less stress and less unnecessary waiting.

Why the queues are long
longer border checks — biometric registration takes ~90 seconds vs 20–25 seconds for a stamp
IATAwait times can reach at peak, per a survey of 45 airports in 20 EU states

ACI via CBSWhat travelers are reporting
From traveler reports on Reddit, Facebook, and X — and from our own greeters on the ground.
“It might be fast, it might be slow — I've had both.”
“None of the kiosks worked, so everyone had to line up to see an agent.”
“On arrival, the queue was pretty quick. Departure took longer — 40 minutes despite 5–6 desks open.”
45-minute clearances some days, multi-hour waits on others.
