In some strange news a flight turned back after a mother realised she had left her baby in the airport, which almost sounds like the plot to Home Alone. The mum only noticed her baby was missing when the plane was in the skies. The aircraft had left King Abdul Aziz International Airport, Saudi Arabia.

From there...

It is thought that around 3.5 million people only have until tomorrow to renew their passports to protect their ability to travel in a no deal Brexit scenario. In the event of a no-deal Brexit on March 20, which is still looking possible, British people will need at least six months left on their passport from the date they arrive in their chosen foreign destination.
