Travelers heading to Europe this summer will have to pack a healthy supply of patience in addition to their passports.
While passengers beginning their travels in Amsterdam tend to face the longest lines, Devin Matte said a flight delay leaving Boston caused him to miss his connection to Norway earlier this month.
The Somerville, Massachusetts-based software engineer can attest to the customer service chaos travelers are facing in Europe firsthand.
"I talked to one guy who had flown from Atlanta to Amsterdam the night before, and he had to sleep in the airport. People in the airport, they said it was about six hours to get through security," Matte, 24, said.
When trying to rebook his flight, the customer service agent advised him to give himself at least six hours
to get through security if he wound up leaving the airport to stay in a hotel overnight.
While the pilot shortage has led to cancellations and delays in the U.S., a host of other issues overseas are leading to long lines at many major airports across the continent.
