Tickets, luggage, timings... travellers and holidaymakers all have their checklists but a little-known rule is tripping up some of those who are hoping to jet off in the coming months. After all, who would think to check the blank pages of their passport before they fly? Well, it seems that if you don't, it could just curtail your travel plans.
With new EU rules in force, checking your travel documents are valid for the country that you are visiting is essential. However, one travel expert also adds that you need to inspect your passport and check the number of blank pages it contains.
Cody Candee, CEO and founder of luggage storage and travel company Bounce, says few people are aware of a rule relating to blank passport pages. They said: "If you run out of blank passport pages you will have to renew your passport sooner than your renewal date".
