British mum's 'holiday of a lifetime' heartbreak as £6,500 trip is ruined at airport by passport expiry mistake

A British mother's planned £6,500 holiday to Egypt with her two children was ruined at the airport due to an expired passport. The family had prepared for a two-week stay at an all-inclusive resort, but just before boarding their easyJet flight from London Gatwick, staff discovered that the younger daughter’s passport did not meet Egypt’s requirement of having at least six months’ validity remaining. The mother, Victoria Vigors, expressed deep disappointment and embarrassment, noting that she had not realized the passport’s expiration date would prevent travel. The family is now attempting to obtain an emergency passport to salvage part of their trip.
