A family missed out on their first holiday together and were made to feel 'like criminals' after their mum was refused boarding by easyJet staff over new passport rules.
Charlotte Wilton had been looking forward to a sunny getaway with husband Matt and their two children, Ronnie aged 6 and 18-month-old Ciara, when she was banned from the Athens flight.
Her 10-year-old passport was valid for another five months under the government’s old practice of allowing for unspent time to be added onto new passports, according to the Mirror.
