The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Landed in Amsterdam and did the EES thing. They had lots of machines and staff on hand to assist, so there was zero wait to access a machine. It took a few tries to get acceptable fingerprints on the scanpad but ultimately succeeded.

The queue was at the actual passport control, but that was no different than usual. Took us about 40 minutes there. The nice thing about AMS is that staff check the queues periodically to pull travelers with tight connections and move them to the front.

I asked the passport control agent if we would have to redo the EES part next time. She said it’s supposed to be good for one year but that right now that’s speculation. Every airport seems to be a bit different.

Kinda like TSA in the US.
