Emergency! Can anyone tell me if my passport is in date?!

Due to fly to Italy in 5 weeks. My passport was issued October 2016. It’s valid until March 2027

however!! My cousin recently got turned away from the airport travelling to Germany despite having loads of time on their passport (over a year). Now DH has just been told the same thing has happened to his mate (going to Holland)

I’ve checked the government website and it says passport must have been issued within the past 10 years and it must have at least 3 months on it by date of return -

mine was issued 9 years ago and has a year left on it - am I ok?

I really can’t afford to be turned back at the airport - really hoping someone can help.

TUI calculator on their website reckons it’s fine but we’ve not booked with them
