TUI 'honeymoon ruined' for newlyweds as man banned from flight over 'ridiculous' passport rule

A man left the airport fuming after being told he cannot board a TUI flight because of a passport rule change. Newlywed Christian Young, 49, and his wife Emily said the experience ruined their honeymoon as the couple were planning to fly to Santorini for a week.

The pair arrived at the East Midlands Airport (EMA) on Thursday (May 19) after dreaming of a perfect holiday surrounded by the Aegean Sea in Greece, celebrating the beginning of their marriage.

Mr Young, a lorry driver in Melbourne, Derbyshire, said they have spent £2000 on their honeymoon. However, their long-awaited holiday was cut short just after they went through the check-in at the airport.
