I came out to fuerteventura on 10th Dec,  only flight in on landing and straight through to border security where they were splitting people into 2 queues, our queue went straight to passport stamping whereas the other queue went to do biometrics with very little success- the machines weren't working at all well. Consequently we were in a taxi 20 mins after landing whereas my friend was stuck at the border for 40 minutes! We were the only flight in so it doesn't bode well for multiple landings. I'm back out in February and already dreading what will happen when we land! Spoke to a tourist the other day and he had his biometrics done here at the beginning of November and again on 27th December! They are obviously not making allowances for people who have already been biometrically registered and just make them go through it all again and he still had his passport stamped. You think the machine would have recognised his biometric data and let him straight through, so they're obviously not running as they should be!

Apparently you have to do "biometrics' everytime you travel so its not a question of when you have done it once that's it 

Ive just got back from Playa blanca recently on returning  we had to go to a non eu registration area and get the passport read then it got stamped at the gate

Hi weeble it's not a very efficient way of doing things, no wonder there are big queues! 

Thanks for the info hopefully useful for others 👍
