Ryanair bans teenager from travelling even though passport was valid

A teenager was barred from boarding a Ryanair jet and told he couldn’t fly - even though his passport still had five months left to run.

Zak Shoneville, aged 15, was left fuming after he and his family tried to go away to Tenerife on Monday, May 2. He was barred from getting on the aircraft and told that his passport had expired.

Zak was with mum and dad Lisa and Neil and sister Lily, 13, and had arrived at Glasgow Prestwick airport at 4am ahead of the 6.10am flight. Although the airline told him his passport was no longer valid, he says it was issued in March 2017 and has an expiry date of October 31 2022, the Mirror reports.
