Almost Stopped at the Gate: Expired ID Card Would Have Prevented Mallorca Trip
How to Check Travel Documents Before Mallorca

Answer
How can I avoid problems with my travel documents before a Mallorca trip?
Check the expiry date of your ID card or passport well before departure, not just on travel day. A simple reminder in your calendar a few weeks or months ahead can prevent last-minute stress. It also helps to keep a photo or scan of your documents on your phone, even though it does not replace the original.
