Today, I went to the airport to start the amazing 3 week vacation in Costa Rica that I've been saving for and planning for more than a year. They wouldn't let me on the plane because my passport expires in less than 6 months. FML

Why the hell does that matter? I could see if it expired 6 months ago, but what the hell?

Umm, if you're American, you don't need a passport to go to Costa Rica...

Why are you assuming the OP is American? It doesn't say where she's from.

Yes, I meant Puerto Rico. Good call. I swore it was both. :)

Don't worry, as a US citizen, you're exempt from the local sovereign laws of a country provided you personally didn't realise it was a completely different place from another country that was vaguely in the same direction.

They need to go ahead and do that for members of the UK, too; they are, after all, the European version of America, and this is coming from a Swede. ;)

That sucks. Next time, be sure to check your passport and other essential travel docs before leaving.

You should have checked the rules when you were booking it. Many places say you have to have at least 6 months left on your passport to enter the country unless it is your home country. Hopefully it'll teach you a lesson for next time you go anywhere. Having said that, I hope it got sorted out.

That sucks, maybe it was your passport photo that put them off. Remember to not blink when they are taking those photos, you learnt a lesson. High five.

so if you've known you were going for a year, why didn't you check before and get your passport renewed? :/

That's NOT what OP said. Re-read the post. It was a 3-WEEK vacation that she had been PLANNING for a year. Ugh.
