Brit barred from Tui flight due to ‘slight mark’ on passport forced to pay £1,200

Collect/PA Real Life

Laila March, 25, a private tutor from Croydon in south London, thought she was getting a “cheap deal” with Tui for less than £1,000 per person when she booked a week’s holiday to the tropical beach destination with her sister Kaemarnie, 21, to celebrate her graduating from university.
