Re: Britain outside the EU

Well Tenerife is not part of the EU. So their customs regime could well be different.

I think that it is part of the EU with a special tax status.

Re: Britain outside the EU

In my experience at some airports since last summer is UK flights are arriving into different areas within terminals from intra-EU flights. The staffing requirements will likely vary depending on what’s coming in.

In Majorca last year they put non-EU into the gates and EU to the desks, despite the signage being the opposite. The theory being there was more non-EU passengers on the flights arriving and it’d be quicker. (I agree with Paul though the gates are trash, I try where possible to ask to use the desks upon return to the UK).

Yes it is. It is an autonomous territory of Spain and is one of the EU’s ‘Outermost Territories’. It has certain rights to derogate from aspects of EU law but it is nonetheless part of the EU.

Tell UK Customs that. They told me catagorically that Tenerife was not part of the EU. I will accept things may have changed since then since the early 2000's

That might be because EU Citizens don’t need to show ID (except for the non-Schengen countries).

Tenerife Entry Requirements for Citizens of Schengen EU countries

Passport / ID Card

EU citizens who are travelling within the Schengen area are not usually required to show a passport or national identity card for travel. However, you will still need to bring one of these documents with you, as foreigners who are on Spanish territory are obligated to carry valid proof of identity with them.

Visa

Due to the freedom of movement agreement within the EU, no visa is required.

This currently applies to the following countries

Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland

Since the end of the Brexit transition period on 31/12/2020, this includes the UK.

Passport

You will need a passport to be able to travel to Tenerife. It is important to check the age and expiry date to ensure that it is valid for travel. Your passport has to meet two criteria:

Unfotunately it may be too long ago to sue for being kept in the cells for over 6 hrs.

I was handed a self delivered letter stating there was no case to answer 11 months 28 days later.

The only good thing was the custody Sergeant, she was drop dead gorgeous.

I remember them saying I could have anyone sit in on the innterview but it is not true. I asked for the custody Sergeant and was told it was not possible/allowed.

So much for having anyone of yout choice.

End of reminiscing, I've grown up since then. I still remember that custody sergeant though...

Hey, who knows.

All I can say is, I travel a fair amount……> 6 times a year……

And as I have mentioned previously, I have not encountered any delays or less than preferential/ equal treatment at any European airport just because I have a U.K. passport.

I appreciate it is my own anecdotal experience, but there it is.

Re: Britain outside the EU

You should go to Cologne/Bonn. Non-EU arrivals taking longer, once the EU arrivals off my flight had been cleared they told us we could use those desks too. Questioned on purpose of visit, where staying etc.

On the way back the two UK flights both flew from the very last gate (82) of the most remote terminal despite there being about 4 departures all evening from terminal C.

Riga airport asking for proof of a hotel reservation and purpose of visit when I was there at Christmas.

Fuerteventura had all their Jet2 arrivals queuing to go through two desks but basically waved through once you got there.

I can’t remember anything out of the ordinary from Budapest or Berlin, but anecdotally a mixed bag.

That isn't really relevant. All countries offer incentives to attract business.

I think it goes to shows that it’s variable.

We had four trips away last year (none this year so far because of poorly doggie) - Larnaca twice (for TRNC), where the first time it was separate queues, second time because the U.K. queue was so big compared to the EU queue they just moved Brits to the EU queue, Dubrovnik when the EU queue had gone they just let the Brits use the EU booths, and Faro they let everyone use any queues.

How can a reported half a billion quid of subsidies be not relevant?

If it wasn’t relevant to the decision making surely it’s a waste of taxpayers money? That said, it’s the Tories perhaps we should find out which members of the House of Lords, pub landlords or husbands/wives of Tory MPs will be trousering it.
