Today, January 16, has long been known as Blue Monday - a day that was earmarked as the most depressing of the year as many people return to work and routine after the first run back since Christmas.

However, passengers are warned that if they haven’t travelled in a long time - and therefore have not looked at or used their passport - they need to check how long ago it expired.
