New Spanish Airport Security in force from 13 June
Holidaymakers visiting Spain after the 13th June this year will face new tougher security controls upon arrival.
Spanish authorities will require full details of all adults and children in advance from airlines. These details will include full names, date of birth and travel documents of each passenger.
The so called Advanced Passenger Informtion is likely to cause problems as it is due to come into force during the busy holiday season, and not enough notice was given to airports and airlines.
API is part of a European treaty intended to harmonise immigration between 15 European nations. Briton however did not sign up.
