With regard to my use of AMS-CDG this quarter, there was no electronic scanning in of the passports at AMS for my AMS-CDG flights. Same as in 2022.
ARN/CPH-CDG on different airlines in the past several weeks had no passport/ID checks for me. Didn’t matter whether coming in from the US on the bookings or on entirely intra-Schengen itineraries, none of the airlines cared to check me for a passport for such EU1-EU2 flights. In the opposite direction with AF, they were religious about wanting to see ID at boarding, but there was no electronic scanning in of passports if already checked in and holding a valid boarding pass for intra-Schengen AF flights.
