Since I was going to an intl. connection - asked and was directed to go along with the EU citizens. This resulted in a quick check of my EU COVID certificate. So, if you have a EU COVID cert - tell them you have an international connection. That saves at least 1hr.
- This just puts you in the immigration hall. In there zero line for the E-gates, so EU citizens, UK & Japan citizens can get through in no time. Line for non-EU citizens (US included) is at least 2 hrs long. Didn't even try.

Flying TAP SFO - LIS 2.5 hr layover LIS - BCN in June. US CDC vax proof. Does being in TAP business class help in anyway with security/passport control?
