Christmas is the time to spend with your family. Even if you don’t see each other very often during the year, the festive period is the time when you all come together. Some of us have family spread over the entire globe so spending time with them becomes a bit more difficult. It takes careful planning and at least a day traveling, but it will be worth it when you get to see their smiling faces at the end of your journey.
One girl was looking forward to spending some quality time with her family last Christmas, but it ended in tears. She was denied access to the plane which meant she was stuck in the airport. For this girl, Christmas was canceled and there didn’t seem to be anything she could do about it. There was a little-known rule that meant she wasn’t going anywhere. This is the story of how one Christmas for one girl was ruined after a shocking regulation prevented her from boarding her plane.

17-year-old Maisy Bennett was looking forward to spending Christmas away from home in South Africa. She was traveling from the UK with her mom, Odette, and would be meeting up with her mother’s fiancé on the other side.
It was an exciting time as they were planning a stop off in Paris. This was going to be a Christmas to remember. As it turned out, it was a Christmas to remember – but not for the reasons Maisy and her mom were hoping for.
