Major European holiday destination opens e-gates to British travellers
UK holidaymakers will soon be able to skip long passport queues at a major European airport, thanks to a new UK-EU deal. Portugal will be the first country in the EU to allow UK passport holders to use e-gates after the deal was struck. The rollout will begin at Faro airport in the Algarve, just in time for the busy summer travel season. The Algarve region is one of the most popular holiday destinations for British holidaymakers, with millions of travellers passing through Faro airport last year. Since Brexit, UK passport holders have had to queue at manned border control desks to get their passports stamped when entering the Schengen area countries. But under a new agreement struck at a UK-EU summit in May, it was confirmed that there would be no legal barriers to UK travellers using e-gates. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds confirmed the news in Parliament last week, saying: 'The historic deal that we signed with the EU on May 19 is in our national interests. 'Good for bills, borders and jobs. It slashes red tape and bureaucracy, boosts British exporters and makes life easier for holidaymakers.' The Prime Minister's official spokesman said that millions more Brits heading to the Algarve will be able to use the e-gates in time for summer holidays. He added: 'We're obviously continuing to work with other countries and other airports to ensure Brits can use more e-gates as soon as possible and that work continues.' Just last week, Portuguese media reported large queues at passport control at Faro airport, with delays of up to two hours. More Trending Last year, tourists were met with three-hour delays at Faro airport, due to e-gates reportedly not working. Pictures shared on social media showed travellers crammed in like sardines before passport control. The EU's Entry/Exit system (EES), expected to launch in October 2025, will eventually replace manual passport checks from non-member countries. According to the UK government website, when EES is introduced, travellers to the Schengen zone will need to create a digital record on their first arrival at the airport. It explains: 'If you are travelling to a country in the Schengen area using a UK passport, you will be required to register your biometric details, such as fingerprints or a photo, when you arrive.'

Major bank to close 23 more branches this month in huge blow to UK high streets
Keep reading for the full list of closures below CHEQUE PLEASE Major bank to close 23 more branches this month in huge blow to UK high streets Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR bank is set to close 23 branches this month, as British high streets struggle to survive. The first round of Santander's closures is underway, after the bank announced in March of this year that they would be shutting at least 95 sites nationwide. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Santander is set to close 23 stores this month Credit: Getty They cited the reason for the closures as customers moving increasingly online, reducing the need for in-person services. A statement on its website reads: "We last did a major review of our branches in 2021. "Since then, many of our customers are choosing to use Mobile, Online and Telephone Banking more, and branches less." However, there are concerns about the impact these closures could have on vulnerable people with limited access to online facilities. Charities like Age UK are campaigning to maintain some in-person banking options, with 4 million older Britons unable to manage their finances online. Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said: 'Physical spaces – whether a bank or building society branch, Banking Hub, or alternative suitable provision – must continue to exist so people can still carry out face-to-face tasks. "The disappearance of face-to-face banking risks cutting a significant minority of the older population out of an essential service, making it difficult if not impossible for them to manage their money and maintain their independence.' The only alternative is 'Banking Hubs' which have been launched to give customers access to cash and services, regardless of which bank they are with. In addition to the 95 closures countrywide, Santander will also be making changes to surviving branches. This includes reduced opening hours, converting some to 'counter-free' businesses, and opening work cafes. These 'work cafes' provide free co-working spaces, bookable meeting rooms and banking facilities, available to anyone, even if you aren't a Santander customer. Santander's £130 Million Recovery: What You Need to Know The closures are part of a wider financial shift in which banks are prioritising online services. According to consumer group Which?, more than 6,300 bank and building societies have closed since January 2015. This averages out to 53 store closures per month. 2 Banks have reduced in-person services as customers move online Credit: Getty Other major banks have also made the decision to close a number of branches, with 102 set to close across different banks this month. This includes major providers like Lloyds, Natwest and Halifax, in addition to Santander's closures. Meanwhile Nationwide has promised to keep its nearly 700 branches open until the start of 2028 as they claim more customers are visiting their stores. Santander is set to close even more stores over the coming months, with the dates of 18 branches still yet to be announced. Reduced hours will come into effect on June 30, with 36 stores affected. Here is the full list of June closures:
