A newlywed couple saw their honeymoon ruined after a passport rule change meant the groom could not board a flight to Santorini, NottinghamshireLive reports. Christian Young, 49, and his wife Emily, 54, had their hearts set on a romantic break on the Greek island when they headed to East Midlands Airport last Thursday.
But their hopes were dashed at the airport check-in when Mr Young was told he couldn't fly.
According to gov.uk, for Brits travelling to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, passports must be issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country, and valid for at least three months after the day you plan to leave. Some reports advise for six months to be on the safe side.
