A Co Down mum is urging travellers to check the expiry dates on their passports, to avoid going through a similar ordeal to her and her young son.
Tara and Chris Beattie were looking forward to a sun holiday with their sons Sam, 5, and Ryan, 2, and had made sure they had the relevant Covid passports for the trip.
But unbeknown to the young family, when travelling to most European countries, the Passport Office recommends the passport expiry date is "at least three months after the intended day of departure from EU".
