Strange thing happened the other sat flying into Alicante we were on a late flight and all the gates on the terminal were full already so we were parked over on the handstand and bused to terminal something I've not experienced for about 4 years . The bus dropped us at the doors which opened and let us straight into the baggage reclaim area , no passport check at all again not had this for a few years in Spain . This made me think why put loads of people through the auto passports upstairs if you then let a whole plane in with no checks at all !
Definitely prefer this no queue .
