@SimonCalder I was denied boarding on Ryanair yesterday despite my passport being within 10 years at point of entry to Spain (issue date 14 May 2012) and expiry being beyond 3 months (expiry 14 Feb 2023).
I have booked an alternative flight with Jet2 tomorrow who I understand are interpreting the rules more in line with these conditions being independent.
