A family’s holiday vacation turned into a potential nightmare after they traveled abroad and allegedly left their passports on the plane. They say they didn’t realize the mistake until the plane had already taken off for another flight.
"My daughter completely forgot until we couldn't find them at border control but she was too scared to say,” Victoria Walker told SWNS. “By the time she told me, the plane had already left and was on the way back to Manchester." (SWNS)
Victoria Walker and her family traveled from Manchester Airport on an EasyJet flight on Monday, SWNS reports. They flew to Switzerland for a ski trip.

"My daughter completely forgot until we couldn't find them at border control but she was too scared to say,” she told SWNS. “By the time she told me, the plane had already left and was on the way back to Manchester."

"I can’t fault the Swiss Immigration at all, they were nothing but supportive and helpful,” she continued. “Immigration has allowed us into the country however we cannot leave as the UK will not accept us back into the country without passports.”
While Victoria has her driver’s license, she has no identification for her daughters.

"I am currently stuck in Switzerland, unable to fly home or even hire a car, along with my two children, one of which is a baby and the Embassy is now closed until the new year,” she explained. “We are just stuck now.”
Fortunately, a spokesperson for EasyJet confirmed to Fox News that the family’s passports have been found and say that the family is “not stranded.”
