Anyway, happy holidays one and all.
Strange, I was in Bilbao last November and suffered no such problems prohibition must be a seasonal thing.

They’re not, but if you view the EU as one homogeneous bloc, then it is only one destination out of hundreds. Preferential passport queues at certain airports in the EU, are in my experience, haphazard and certainly not a hill to die on.

I travel a lot, in and out of Europe, I’ve never faced a delay due to my passport. I accept that is subjective and anecdotal, but it is my experience.
