The first thing on this departures check list, and don't think it's a silly question, but is your passport valid? A huge amount of travellers arrive at the airport to be refused travel because of this reason.
Travellers will also be refused travel when departing Birmingham Airport if their passport is in bad condition, or if the person is unrecognisable from their passport photograph.
It is also vitally important to check those passports belong to children as many of these can be found out of date - note that a child's passport, when issued, is valid for just 5 years.
