wewere going on holiday to San Diego, USA. We'd booked the holiday online six months earlier and hadn't bothered to check our passports. I'd just assumed everything was OK. So you can imagine my surprise when we were told at the cheek-in desk that we couldn't fly because our son's passports was out of date. My wife and daughter checked in and off day went. Nick and I ruseed home, got his birth certificat and tried to get a new passport.
