Summary
Travelers with passports that are close to expiration (e.g., less than 6 months validity) face check-in refusals, especially when self-transferring between different airlines. This creates a high-stress situation where the traveler may be denied boarding despite having valid onward tickets. Airlines have inconsistent policies, and there is no reliable way to verify or guarantee check-in prior to arriving at the airport. This problem is unsolved and causes severe anxiety and potential trip disruption.
