A holidaymaker was left in shock after she flew to Turkey with her husband’s out-of-date passport before being deported back home.

Marion Lamond, 53, mistakenly picked up husband Derek’s passport but managed to pass through two lots of airport security checkpoints before anyone noticed the error.

It was only on arrival at Dalaman airport in Turkey she realised she had taken her husband’s documents – which had expired five years ago.

As she landed in Turkey she was taken aside and separated from her friend for interrogation.

Tearful Marion was escorted onto the first Thomson Holidays flight back to Edinburgh after being berated during questioning.

Her friend had to make her way to their hotel alone with both their suitcases, while Marion was greeted by security on her return home to Scotland.

As soon as she got back to her house in Dunfermline, Fife, she booked a flight back to Dalaman for the following day to try and salvage what remained of her holiday.

Marion admitted to being a bit careless but was left shocked at how she managed to get as far as Turkey before security forces noticed the error.

She said: ‘He’s a male and I am a female – you can tell the difference and plus the fact that his passport was five years out of date.

‘How could it happen? Especially with the country being on high alert.”
