Woman's Benidorm holiday hopes dashed after loss of passport
SPARE a thought for the Cleethorpes woman who missed out on a sunshine holiday to Benidorm in Spain after losing her passport on the plane!
The woman, whose identity has been withheld, misplaced the vital document somewhere in the air between East Midlands and Alicante airports.
On arrival at the latter, despite her protestations, the woman was not allowed through passport control.
Instead, she was escorted by security guards to another gate and put on a flight to . . . Cardiff Airport.
The incident occurred earlier this month since when the passport has not been traced, either by the airline or by anyone else.
And that is not the end of the saga.
Because, later this month, the woman is booked to go on another holiday, this time a cruise with her husband, she desperately needs a passport.
With long delays for online and postal applications, she has had no option but to make another trip - this time to the Passport Office in Liverpool - to buy a new passport at a cost of almost £100.
Oh, the pressures of foreign travel!
