'Reckless and selfish' woman tried to sneak onto plane after being refused boarding due to EU passport rule
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA woman tried to sneak onto a plane after she had been refused boarding because her passport was nearly expired. Mistura Alade, 45, and a girl who cannot be named for legal reasons, had booked a flight from Gatwick Airport to Milan.
However Alade had not checked her passport expiry date as travel to EU countries now requires a passport holder to have at least three months left before expiry.
