Harry Styles Forgets Passport For Taylor Flight

One Directionstar Taylor Swift after leaving his passport at home.

The 18-year-old heart throb is claimed by the Sunday People to have forgotten the vital document before leaving his home is Cheshire for London's Heathrow Airport - causing him to miss his flight.

And when he was told by staff that he couldn't fly without a passport, he apparently had to wait eight hours for the next flight while it was couriered to him.

A source told the paper: "Harry was due to fly out on Friday morning and his mum very kindly offered to drive him to the airport, but when he got there he realised he didn't have his passport.

"He wanted to fly out that day so rather than Anne drive the journey back up north, he decided to get a courier bike to pick it up and bring it to him. If she had driven to get it, Harry would have missed the next flight too.

"He managed to get on the evening flight but it still meant that he had to wait another eight hours for his post-Christmas reunion with Taylor. Despite this, he took the whole event in good humour and ridiculed himself for it.

"He was embarrassed though, especially when he approached the check-in desk only to find he didn't have the passport.

"Harry spent his time shopping and having some lunch before the next flight which took off that evening."

Harry and Taylor are reported to be spending New Year's Eve together in New York, where she is performing with Justin Bieber and other stars in a huge gig at Madison Square Gardens.

"There was no way Harry and Taylor could spend Christmas Day together but they're making up for it by seeing in the New Year together," the source added.
