SUCCESSFUL UPDATE
We went to Liverpool passport office today, really helpful. straight away they ask when your flying, we fly Sunday so got seen. anyone who is flying Monday had to come back tomorrow. We got there at 7:45 and go into the office at about 8:30 got seen at about 10 and then had to come back at 11 for something else. As we were over 10 weeks we didn’t have to pay but people under 10 weeks are paying £101. Then we collected the passport at 2:30. 100% recommend finding out where your documents are and travelling 48hours before your flight.
