Apart from not being familiar with the layout and where to find the building for checking in the dog, all was good with no delays.
Coming back, I was searched, being asked to open the back of my van so that they could check for illegal immigrants, otherwise all was good with no delays.

Avoid peak times & you are ok. Every car nowadays takes several minutes to process through both UK & French officials so multiply that by a lot of vehicles & delays are unavoidable at busy times.

Bob Earnshaw has just done a video of coming back through the tunnel which you might find interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug2x6hKoSzg&t=1s

That must hold the record for the most boring Youtube clip ever! The last 5 minutes boarding the train were all that was needed, but thanks anyway. LOL!
I must admit I tend to fast forward through a lot of their videos.

Hi Mg. We are going early next yr mid April mid July for cheaper cost & less crowds. Probably start on Med coast & work back but we will be up & back along A20 so we can sort something out.
Does anyone else have issues trying to check in without getting out of their vans on the UK side please?
I struggled and had to get out from my VW Crafter as I was not able to reach!

It's the same on the other side too, we have to lean down a long way to reach the hangar!
I gave up trying to lean down so I got out of the van instead.
