Brexit Passport Woes Ground Ryanair Passengers!

In a recent twist of bureaucratic absurdity at London's Stansted Airport, Paul Mason and Zoe Rooney were barred from their Ryanair flight to Athens due to post-Brexit passport regulations. Zoe's passport, valid until August 2025, was over the 10-year issue limit set by the EU. This unexpected hurdle left them denied boarding and feeling like "criminals." Following Brexit, the EU no longer accepts UK passports issued over 10 years ago, regardless of the expiry date. Ryanair (@Ryanair) states such rules are clearly noted for travelers.
