Wizz Air chief executive Yvonne Moynihan advises passengers to adjust travel plans ahead of new EU border checks that are causing longer queues, according to reporting. Moynihan tells British travellers to arrive significantly earlier than usual—around three hours before their flight—so they have time to clear additional checks. She also says travellers should factor in extra time for onward connections, recommending they allow several hours between flights. In addition to timing changes, she urges passengers to bring basic items to help them cope with potential delays, including water and a phone charger so they can stay connected if processing takes longer than expected.
The guidance focuses on practical steps passengers can take to reduce the risk of missing departures during periods of congestion at airports. The reporting does not specify which particular border procedures are newly introduced, nor does it quantify average wait times, but it frames the message as preparedness guidance tied to the implementation of the checks and resulting queue disruption.
