Hi everyone.

We booked a Tui holiday to Crete (near Remythmnon) from Sunday (9th) to Sunday - but have just discovered that our children's passports expired last month. Have made lots of calls to Tui and to the Passport Office, but Tui will not let us change our dates as too close to departure and we cannot get a 1 day renewal for a child's passport. Feeling disorganised and foolish, but mainly Sad.

The only thing we can do is a name change - and so we are offering it for sale. The booking is for 2 adults and 2 children at Tui Aquila Rithymna Beach on a half board basis (including seat bookings and transfers). We paid well over £2,000, but would accept half that so that we can execute a UK-based Plan B. Offering it here before we put it on Ebay (have never sold anything like a holiday on Ebay!). Please PM me if genuinely interested.

Bumping for you OP

Can't help you but another bump op !

marmitesandwiches · 03/04/2018 17:57

Thank you for the kind bumps. Have just confessed to my older DS that we aren't going to Crete, but possibly to North Wales. I am possibly the worst Mum ever!

I bet it has! I'm gutted for you! Just been looking on the gov.uk passport website for you, to see if there was anything on there, as I'm sure you've already done that, oh what a crying shame, I would've thought they'd do child one day passports, I'm sure they use to.

@marmitesandwiches did you manage to sell your holiday OP?

Gosh I'm so sorry for you. What a horrible situation - I thought you could turn up and wait at the passport office.
