点评:A two hours delay entering the country due to automatic "Schengen" passport reader machines not recognising over 95% of UK passports!
Everyone upon arrival including the old and infirm left to queue for some at the back outside in the rain! To be fair immigration team were friendly and apologetic but you could tell that this is an ongoing problem.
On departure nearly two hours again delaying out flight by 1.5 hours messing up our ongoing arrival travel plans from Gatwick.
Very shameful letting down a poor but beautiful, unspoilt Italian region with so much dependency upon tourism and with so much more potential.
Would I go back to Calabria? Most certainly yes, but not until they knock this tired old airport down and rebuild it to bring entry, departure and terminal facilities into the 21st century!
翻译:由于自动化的“申根区”护照读取机无法识别95%以上的英国护照,导致入境流程延误了两个小时!
抵达后,包括老人和体弱者在内的所有人都不得不在雨中排长队!公平地说,移民局的工作人员态度友好且十分歉意,但显然这是一个长期存在的问题。
离境时情况依旧如此:航班再次被延误了1.5小时,这彻底打乱了我们从盖特威克机场出发的后续行程安排。实在可耻——辜负了一个贫穷却美丽、未受破坏的意大利地区。这里对旅游业依赖度极高,也拥有巨大的发展潜力。
我还会再去卡拉布里亚吗?绝对会,但前提是他们得拆掉那座破旧不堪的机场,重新建造一座能让出入境及候机设施跟上21世纪发展步伐的新机场!
