All these stories make me remember a couple being refused a flight to Cork due to not having photo I.D. with them (this was at the early stages of the Lo Co Airline in question introducing this requirement so I guess it was a understandable oversight on behalf of the passengers) .... they had I.D. but without photo's
The couple in question had to wait for an alternative flight/Carrier .... much later as I recall ......
The reason for the urgent trip to Cork? ..... their daughter had just been found "Murdered" in Ireland
.... but rules are rules, I guess
