Depending on flight and passport, they had some self register at the kiosk and then use the e-gates.

Others were seen by an officer and registered there and cleared to enter.

Even after waiting for a checked bag, deplane -> taxi in <60 minutes.

We talking ETIAS? Per the current EU website, it says - ATL May 28, 2026, 8:36:24
- I believe this is in reference to EES - Dilbert May 28, 2026, 8:43:51
  - Correct. I can add Athens and Split to that list too. They make you do all the scanning and then - voiceofreason May 28, 2026, 9:09:39
    - Wait, you have to do the scan within the Schengen zone too? Our plan is to take a 8 hr layover in - ATL May 28, 2026, 10:35:01
      - We had to go through the process when entering in Athens. They then made us do it again on the way - voiceofreason May 30, 2026, 16:38:47
And we’re less than 3 weeks away from our Portugal trip - TarheelIllini May 28, 2026, 8:28:30
