Lost passport AFTER security, BEFORE boarding
At Gatwick yesterday, my sister dropped/lost her passport after it went through the screening process but before we were due to board. Heading to YYZ on Westjet.
Luckily, after about half an hour, security had it turned in and returned it to her, but I would like to know what would have happened if it had NOT been found. Would she have been able to board? If they had let her on, would they have let her in to Canada in Toronto? (she is a citizen). Would she have had to stay in London and wait for an emergency new passport?
She dodged the bullet on this one, but would like to know anyway.
Thanks
