Travel may be opening back up, with some countries now offering restriction-free travel, but Covid confusion has been replaced by another kind: passport validity.
Post-Brexit, the rules have changed when it comes to passport expiry dates for travel from the UK to the EU.
But some airlines are stipulating that passengers must have six months left on their travel documents in order to fly, contrary to official guidance issued by the EU.
So how can you be sure your passport is valid? And how long before travel do you need to apply for a new one?
