We are lucky enough to go abroad on holiday at least twice a year. For the previous 2- 3 years my now 9yr old son is always questioned both at check in, before boarding and on arrival back to the UK at Border Force. Is this normal?
I never thought anything of it at first and I also have a teenage daughter who is never asked a thing. We all have the same surname, I'm married and we all travel together as a family of 4. Both kids look just like their dad too!
DS is asked stuff like are you sure that's your name, how old are you, what's your dob, where have you been and for how long etc. He is completely laid back and answers in his own natural way. One time it was a few days after his birthday and the check in staff quizzed him about that and asked him what he got for presents. It's like they all dont quite believe him!! Does this happen to everyone?!
