Can a passport’s extended expiry date be rejected?

Q My UK passport was issued in October 2014 but has an expiry date of June 2025. But I am afraid that even though closures for fog are far from unusual at Goa’s Dabolim airport – located on a peninsula jutting out into the Indian Ocean – the airline can claim “extraordinary circumstances” and avoid paying out. The rather rambling text from the European air passengers’ rights rules reads: “An air carrier is exempted from paying compensation in the event of cancellation or delay at arrival if it can prove that the cancellation or delay is caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.” Weather is regarded as beyond the airlines’ control. open image in gallery Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland are the best countries for allowing Interrailers to use the fastest trains without penalty Q I’m 20 and have just started planning an Interrail trip around Europe for a month this summer. open image in gallery Labour mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham has made the case for full nationalisation of the railways Q When are we going to see the government solve our railway issues?
