I was almost turned away from my flight because my passport photo was ‘too hot’ – I’ve never been so humbled in my life
A TIKTOKER has revealed how her trip was nearly cancelled, not due to bad weather, but rather her good looks.
The beauty pro said her passport photo was considered “too hot” by the airport staff.
Alisha Marie (@alishamarie) filmed herself appearing defeated in the airport in a video on TikTok.
“They almost didn’t let me on my flight because they said I don’t look like my passport,” she revealed.
Alisha laughed off the situation, offering some serious advice for travelers.
“This is why you should never do hot photos for your passport. Never. Because I don’t look like this,” she said.
She revealed her passport photo to the camera, where she clearly appeared more glamorous with makeup on.
Alisha took off her hat for good measure, to allow for a fair comparison between her current look and the picture.
“I’ve never been so humbled in my life,” she added in the caption.
The video drew in many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.
“At least it’s a really nice passport photo,” one assured.
“I appreciate that LOLOL,” Alisha replied.
“I took my passport photo while in a ponytail because I knew I’d be a dirtbag in a ponytail at the airport,” another added.
“What’s humbling is I look horrible on my passport and they’re always like, ‘that’s you alright.'” a third commented.
“I took my passport pic with pinned curls since that’s how I always travel. So no issues,” yet another wrote.
“This happened to me, too. I literally got separated from my entire family and was put in a line for additional questioning when i was going to England,” one more commented.
