Well, my wife came with my son's passport, arriving around 10 mins before scheduled departure time. She could have got there earlier if I had asked her to come earlier.

I suppose a key question is whether it is relevant what I would have done had the agent not denied me boarding (as I assert)? Or, whether, on the facts I was denied boarding and am thus entitled to the EU261 remedies in any case?
