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 while one passenger is reported to have passed out while waiting.
Yvette Hughes wrote on Twitter: “What the hell is going on? Three and a half hours queuing through security.
“My knees are swollen, someone has passed out, children are crying. Not a bit of information from anyone.”
