Potential perk for travellers in Brexit reset deal

  • British travellers may regain access to EU passport queues under a post-Brexit deal being negotiated by the UK government.
  • The deal aims to reduce waiting times for British tourists arriving in Europe, who currently face long queues in "all passports" lines.
  • It would also grant British travellers access to European e-gates, currently exclusive to EU/EEA passport holders.
  • The agreement is expected to be discussed at a summit between UK and EU leaders on Monday, alongside other potential agreements like a youth mobility scheme and access to the EU defence fund.
  • While critics are concerned about what they see as a return to freedom of movement, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer insists the deal will not violate his "red lines" regarding the single market or the customs union.
