Very Important Passport Information... |
|
|
|
|
As one of the biggest reasons that passengers departing East Midlands Airport are refused travel is because their passport is out of date. Check yours, and any members of your party now. Pay special attention to any children's passports you may have as these are issued for just 5 years, not the usual 10 of an adult's.
What's more, check that the passports are in good condition, if in a terrible state you could be refused travel on this basis too. Also if you have changed appearance beyond recognition to the passport photo (this does not apply to babies and small children).
Now read on for our helpful departures checklist, hand luggage checklist and children's checklist. |
