An unlucky dad found himself detained in Croatia - after accidentally using his stepdaughter's passport to board his flight. David Chadwick, 57, was excited as he boarded a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Croatia for a romantic five-day break with his wife Alison, 46.
But, when he was stopped by border guards after landing at Zagreb Airport, David realised he'd brought his stepdaughter's passport - instead of his own. Holding just the passport belonging to his stepdaughter, 21, and no personal identification, David was detained for his entire holiday in a cell at Zagreb Airport.
He was then escorted onto his original flight home and taken by border officials at Manchester Airport who confirmed his identification based on photos of his passport and driving licence on his phone and let him go home. Senior international clinical manager David, who lives in Standish, Manchester, with nurses Alison and Katherine, said: "I was simply gutted, and embarrassed at the same time.
