I read an article earlier on this topic. It stated that hundreds of travellers per day are caught out and turned away from the airport. To add to the confusion the online advance check in system has allowed them to check in with the problematic passport. Then they are told at the airport their passport is invalid.

No you are not. A passport with those extra months falls foul of the rules.

I think you are OK as long as you are still within the 10 yars.

Does anyone understand the EU stance on UK passport holders? I read a BBC article this morning where the EU state that UK passports valid for more that 10 years - happens when they renewed and credited with outstanding months - will not be recognised and the holder is turned away at passport control at airports.
