A family have missed out on their first holiday together after their mum was denied boarding by easyJet staff as passport rules threw their plans into disarray.
Charlotte Wilton, 36, had been set to fly to Athens on April 16 with her speech coach husband Matt, her six-year-old Ronnie and her 18-month-old daughter Ciara, when she was barred from the flight.
Her passport, which is more than 10 years old, was valid for another five months due to the government’s old practice of allowing for unspent time to be added onto new passports.
