UK passport-holders have been advised to thoroughly check their documents before travelling following reports of holidaymakers repeatedly falling foul of post-Brexit legislation. Many have been unable to travel and left massively out of pocket because of new rules.
Rising numbers of passengers are expected to getaway for the final weeks of the schools summer break to to make the best of the August bank holiday. So travel trade body ABTA has issued a checklist for those looking to get away complete with the message: "Check if your passport will be valid for travel dates."
Shirelle Quinn and her son Freddy, who were due to fly to Alicante from Newcastle Airport, are recent victims of changing regulations. They were told by TUI airport check-in staff they wouldn't be able to fly because the mum's passport was issued more than 10 years before, reports the Mirror.
