A BRITISH man who flew to Germany using his girlfriend’s passport only realized the mistake when he had arrived at his destination — having gone through security.

    Josh Reed, who is 1.9 meters and has a beard, traveled from London Stansted to Dortmund on a Ryanair flight with petite brunette Sophie’s ID.

    According to the 21-year-old, security at the gate only checked his boarding pass, meaning he only spotted that he had the wrong travel documents when he landed in Germany.

    But at no point did anyone else notice that he wasn’t girlfriend Sophie Watkins.

    Nightclub doorman Reed said, “We have different surnames and we couldn’t look more different.

    “It makes you wonder how easy it would be for people that look alike to get through on fake passports.”

    A spokesman for Ryanair said, “Our handling agent at the boarding gate mistakenly failed to check the passport of this passenger, and Swissport have assured us that appropriate steps will be taken to prevent a recurrence.”

    Reed managed to get through security at the German airport using his driving license, and girlfriend Sophie sent his actual passport out via courier so he could fly home.(SD-Agencies)
