June 29, 20197 yr If your passport is still valid and you are not on overstay, why would they keep you? Every civilized country guarantees the right to return for it's citizens.

Really, a citizen returning to his home country! The home country (UK) can not refuse you! What are you concerned about? Airlines do care only for passengers flying to foreign countries and check about immigration/visa rules. Not applicable to citizens returning to home country.

Keep your hair on mate. I appreciate the link but I've already visited that site and encountered an arrogant sarcastic keyboard warrior (know what I mean ?) I've had a varied response to this question including "different airlines have different policies" so I'm sure you can work out why I'm seeking a definitive answer rather than leave it to the last minute .....

I was given a bucket full of grief at the Manila airport about it when leaving the PI. Upon arriving at the USA the immigration officer said the passport was OK but to insure no problems in the future I might consider replacing it which I did. Yes, having a damaged passport may cause issues at the departing airport for international flights.
June 30, 20197 yr Author Thanks but passport not damaged, the question is about minimum validity when flying home
