Travellers from the Isle of Man are being urged to be aware of a European Union ruling which means that passports issued more than 10 years ago are no longer accepted within the union.
Prior to the UK's departure from the EU travellers from the UK and Isle of Man could carry up to nine months from an old passport onto a new one.
It's estimated that in the UK up to 100,000 people a year are losing their holidays as a result of the post Brexit change.
Many people only become aware of the problem when they turn up at the airport to travel by which time it's too late, or expensive, to save their holidays.
Simon Calder, travel editor for the UK Independent, says he's written to airlines urging them to do more to make travellers aware of the passport requirements.
To date it's thought only TUI is proposing to do so.
Mr Calder says it's only the EU that cares about the issue date. Other countries including the US, Australia and Tunisia rule that a passport's valid up to and including the expiry date.
