Mum Issues Passport Warning After Son Barred From Flight Over Sticker Mark

Meghan Law planned a two-week holiday to Phuket, Thailand, with her two children in October. She was flying with Qatar Airways.

At Edinburgh Airport, the 33-year-old mother was informed by Qatar Airways check-in staff that her 13-year-old son, Alix Dawson, could not board the flight due to an issue with his passport.

"There was a 'luggage sticker mark' on my son's passport that stopped him from boarding the flight."

Meghan warned other travelers to carefully check their passports before flying, after this unexpected situation delayed their £3,000 family holiday.
