Desperate help - passport expired, travel on Wednesday

[Nowanextraone]

I feel sick. I don't understand how we have overlooked this as we renewed 2 of our other children's passports, but we've just seen our daughter's passport expired in January.

We are fucked aren't we? It says a child's passport can only be renewed urgently in a week.
I feel sick

Insurance won't even pay will it as it's our fault.

Wonderful update, hope you have a fab holiday OP

@Nowanextraone Omg, I am so, so pleased for you all. I hope you have the best holiday ever 🏖️😎

So happy for you!!!

So pleased for you all .
Have a fantastic time xx

Then you question yourself, do you have that extra money to sort it out? What if you really have to fly to NI and can not afford it?

This is such fantastic news! Well done TUI I'll definitely remember this for my next holiday booking. Unlike Ryanair who years ago when my DC both had chickenpox so we had to cancel refused to offer anything other than a voucher for the £600 flights that had to be used within 6 months when we knew we couldn't go anywhere. They refused to extend it so we just lost the money 👎

This almost feels as good as going on holiday myself!! 😂
Have a well deserved break

That's great news OP @Nowanextraone
You'll look back and laugh (one day!).
Have a lovely holiday.

That's lovely news OP, so glad you're still having a holiday you'll definitely cherish this one. And also well done TUI for literally saving the day, definitely a compassionate company. 👏🏼

Amazing update! I hope good Karma goes to those that helped you too, it was lovely of them.

I made it all the way through this thread with my heart in my mouth for you!

I am so happy for you and hope you all have an amazing well deserved holiday ❤️

Ah how lovely!! So pleased for you all

What a great advert for Tui - bravo Tui! 👏 👏 👏

(also - you do realise the passport is now virtually guaranteed to arrive tomorrow?! 😜)

Awww. I’m thrilled to see this. Well done all those with great advice, well done TUI.

Was so upset for you a few days ago and thought I would check again today. I am over the moon for you.
My daughter did something similar a couple of years ago but they lost their holiday.
Now go and have a lovely holiday.

That's such brilliant news!!

Aww so pleased for you OP, gives you a bit of time to breath and relax knowing that the passport will be back in plenty of time.

Glad that TUI were helpful and kind.

Have a great holiday!

Amazing news!

Brilliant news, have a fab holiday

I've just read your update from last night
Fantastic news!
Have a wonderful holiday

Oh wow, bloody hell I’ve tears in my eyes. I am so
delighted for you all.

I bet you come on tomorrow and say the passport came as well 😂

enjoy your well deserved holiday x

What brilliant news! So glad you'll get your full holiday after all.

Just brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏

We all want a stick of rock on your return please, OP!

Nice job, TUI 🤩

Another update from me that folks may find useful…
Picked up Ds passport today. Made a point of asking for clarification on if you can still get a same day passport for an adult .The official answer was:
The soonest you can get an adult passport for collection is day 3 after completing the online application. In very very rare cases ie bereavement, illness, they MAY be able to get one through but that is very unlikely.
Childs passport is always 1 week service and couriered to you. No amount of begging/ turning up at the office will help. It was strictly appointment only and I saw people being turned away.
Hope that’s useful!

This gave me goose bumps! I came on to see if the passport had arrived. I’ve been the kind of you all. Have the best holiday. Kindness spreads kindness as I always tell my daughter. You will have made the day of the staff member who could help you. What a wonderful thread.
