An AFL<\/a> WAG\u2019s business<\/a> travel<\/a> plans began to unravel into a scene from a nightmare after she rocked up to Perth<\/a> Airport with the wrong passport.<\/p>\n

Tayla Broad and her husband, Richmond Tigers\u2019 Nathan Broad, were checking in to their flight bound for Dubai when she made the heart-stopping realisation she had her daughter\u2019s passport instead of her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got to the airport I got my passport out and went to put it in the machine and staring back at me was my two-year-old daughter,\u201d Tayla said in a TikTok clip explaining the calamity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you can imagine I am instantly like holy s..t I am going to Dubai for work and I don\u2019t have my passport…tears just start running down my face.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid the chaos, it registered that Nathan was responsible for grabbing his and their daughter Samara\u2019s passport from their safe at home in Victoria before jetting to Perth.<\/p>\n

Hysterical and worried she would lose her job, Tayla was comforted by Emirates staff as the couple frantically tried to call colleagues and family in Melbourne to arrange a plan to get her passport.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course it\u2019s three hours in front and everyone is asleep and no-one is answering their phones,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo then we try to call the contact I have on my trip in Dubai, however Dubai can\u2019t answer out of country phone calls, so we were kinda f..ked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple eventually got through to their Dubai contacts via email and the help of their travel agent, but a solution was still out of sight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plan was for Nathan to get on a midnight flight to Melbourne, grab my passport, then fly back to Perth and hopefully get us on the next night\u2019s flight,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the flights were $2,500 just for him to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

A desperate Tayla turned to her social media followers to see if anyone would be soon travelling from Melbourne to the west and could bring her passport to Perth.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my friend\u2019s sisters was getting on a flight… and we thought this could be a better option,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily we were able to get on another flight, it just meant Nathan and I had to pay that difference which was quite a bit, but we just hoping and praying this passport gets here and we can get on the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broad has come away from the experience with a simple lesson.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least we know our marriage is pretty strong. But never, ever, ever trust your husband to get your passport. Check it yourself. Open the passport and check it,\u201d she joked.<\/p>\n
