@sainsburys Done so but now getting a load of automated requirements to click but assume I can ignore ?

[Debbie @Debbie]

Thank you for your advice @SimonCalder ! I would have given up otherwise

Operation ‘Can I get to Spain’ wth a valid passport due to commence in t-30 mins.

This is a 6 stage operation:

[Debbie @Debbie]

Was tricky at the gate. I was pulled aside and a supervisor called about passport dates….

[Debbie @Debbie]

I did it ! I’m in Spain 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[Debbie @Debbie]

Landed! Now border control and I’ll get to see my boys! So stressful this whole thing.

[Debbie @Debbie]

(4) go to security and wait nervously to be denied (5) if 4 is successful, wait nervously to be prevented from boarding (6) fly to Spain, arrive and wait nervously to be sent home by border control

[Debbie @Debbie]

(1) drive to airport and park up (2) do twilight bag check in & wait nervously (3) if ok, head to hotel for the night and don’t sleep due to worrying about next stages

@SimonCalder Thanks @SimonCalder I have printed off the article and any research I can find and taking it with me. Will let you know how I get on

[Debbie @Debbie]

@SimonCalder I was denied boarding on Ryanair yesterday despite my passport being within 10 years at point of entry to Spain (issue date 14 May 2012) and expiry being beyond 3 months (expiry 14 Feb 2023).

[Debbie @Debbie]

Any chance you could point me in the right direction to make a denied boarding claim with Ryanair?

[Debbie @Debbie]

I have booked an alternative flight with Jet2 tomorrow who I understand are interpreting the rules more in line with these conditions being independent.

[Debbie @Debbie]

I am not sure what to expect yet, but I will update here to let folks know the outcome.

I may have 1 denied boarding claim or 2 after tomorrow !

[Debbie @Debbie]

@Ryanair See the independent article which backs this up. Written by @SimonCalder

Please help me board a new flight on the basis I was incorrectly denied boarding

[Debbie @Debbie]

@Ryanair please help! I have been denied boarding today on the basis my passport is invalid. I do not believe this is correct.

[Debbie @Debbie]

@Ryanair Travel today until 24th April. The expiry date on my passport is Feb 2023 and the issue date of my passport is 14 May 2012 so I am travelling within the 10 year issue date and returning whilst still in this 10 year window.
