A couple expecting to spend their vacation in Mexico had their trip brought to a halt when an airport in Puerto Vallarta wouldn’t accept a passport card.
Kristine and Richard Scimeca had booked a flight leaving from O’Hare International Airport Saturday and arriving in Puerto Vallarta.
“This was a company trip that I won, which I worked hard for three months,” Richard Scimeca said.
When the couple arrived at the Chicago airport, Richard Scimeca had a traditional passport, but his wife had a passport card. A United Airlines representative assisted them with entering the information from the passport card and said there was no problem.
But when the pair arrived in Mexico, officials would not let Kristine leave the airport. Less than two hours later, the Scimecas were being sent home.
