A holidaymaker destined for a boys trip travelled into Spain using his older brother’s passport, without security realising.
Elliot Lord, 19, a university student at St Mary’s University, Twickenham was part of a group of 26 flying with easyJet from Stansted to Palma on June 28.
He said: “My first thought when I realised the mistake was ‘how am I going to get back’?"
Elliot, of Freshwater Crescent, Heybridge, does not think he looks similar to 23-year-old brother Kieron’s passport photo.
He said: “We do look alike in real life, but not in his passport."
Elliot was surprised he passed through security, but puts it down to being in a large group.
He said: “There were 26 of us so I can understand it happening, they probably didn’t check everyone.”
