It isn't the only new rule - Brits now need at least three months left on their passport to travel to countries in Europe.

Some Brits have fallen victim to this new rule, and only realising it when they were turned away from their flight.

Back in November, a mum was banned from her flight after she was told her passport was out of date - even though it wasn't.

And one woman lost out on her £2,600 dream holiday due to confusion over her passport's expiry dates.
