Something Has Changed at LANZAROTE AIRPORT!… I Had to Take a Look. Watch Before You Go!

✈️ I went to pick up my mate from **Lanzarote Airport on one of the busiest arrival days**… and what started as a simple airport pickup turned into a full 2026 tour, update and passenger guide around **César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (ACE)**. With so much talk about **EES passport control**, airport queues and delays for British and non-EU passengers, I wanted to see what was really happening. Are people getting stuck waiting to enter Lanzarote? Is the new Entry/Exit System causing problems? My mate had just landed, so we got a real look at how long it actually took him to get through arrivals. The result might surprise you. But while I was there, I found far more than expected… For the first time, I take a close look at the **new Ryanair check-in machines at Lanzarote Airport**, showing where they are and what passengers can expect. These are a major change for anyone flying Ryanair from Lanzarote and something many tourists may not even know is there yet. I also check the current *Lanzarote Airport taxi situation* on a very busy arrival day. Are there huge queues? Are passengers waiting ages for a taxi to Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise, Puerto Calero or Arrecife? Or are the taxis moving quickly despite the number of flights arriving? This video becomes a complete visual guide for anyone travelling through Lanzarote Airport in 2026. In this full tour and update I cover: ✈️ Lanzarote Airport arrivals 🛫 Lanzarote Airport departures 🛂 EES Entry/Exit System update ⏱️ Real passport control experience 🆕 New Ryanair check-in machines 🚕 Taxi queues and waiting times ♿ Where to find assisted travel 🧳 Airline check-in desk areas 🚗 Car hire locations and top tips 📍 Where to meet arriving passengers 🚘 Airport pickup and drop-off information 🏢 Full terminal walkthrough 😂 The famous escalator update! One of the most useful parts of this video is a look around the **check-in desk areas**. Which companies are in which sections? Where should you head when flying with airlines such as Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet, TUI and other carriers? I walk through the airport so first-time visitors can understand the layout before travelling. I also show where *assisted travel and reduced mobility services* are located, useful for wheelchair users, elderly passengers or anyone requiring extra help through the airport. Hiring a car in Lanzarote? I take a look at the *Lanzarote Airport car hire area* and share practical tips that could save time and confusion. One mistake visitors make is assuming every rental company operates from exactly the same place, so knowing what to expect before arrival can make the start of your holiday much easier. Then there is the taxi rank. Lanzarote Airport can become extremely busy when several flights land close together, so I wanted to see the real situation. Is there a long taxi queue? Are enough taxis arriving? And should you consider booking an airport transfer in advance? We also look at **arrivals and departures**, including where to wait for family and friends, where passengers emerge after collecting luggage and what to expect when arriving at ACE Airport for the first time. And finally… regular Mr TravelON viewers will know there has been one huge ongoing airport mystery: **the escalator**. After what feels like forever, has it finally been fixed? There was only one way to find out. 😂 Whether you are flying to Lanzarote for a holiday in **Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise, Puerto Calero, Arrecife or anywhere else on the island**, this video gives you a realistic and up-to-date look at the airport before you travel. No staged quiet visit. No empty terminal. This was filmed during a genuine pickup on one of the busiest arrival days, showing how Lanzarote Airport was really operating.
