Sue updated fans on social media about her horrible flight experience to the US<\/p>\n

Sue Radford shared that a special birthday getaway hit an early snag during the flight.<\/p>\n

The Radford clan,<\/a> featured on the Channel 5 programme, have flown across the Atlantic to mark daughter Heidi’s sixth birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n

First of all, the star of 22 Kids and Counting didn’t enjoy sitting next to a fellow passenger who kept ripping rip in the confined space. Then, the family hit another hurdle after landing.<\/p>\n

Taking to social media, Sue shared a picture of herself covering her nose in disgust. She said: “We had a good flight yesterday but got stuck near someone who had serious wind issues.”<\/p>\n

She subsequently detailed a security ordeal: “We landed very late last night which meant we didn’t arrive at the villa until around 2.30 (7.30am UK).<\/p>\n

“We breezed through security as we had the MPC app but [pals] Jamie and Rebecca both got pulled in for more questions along with a few others so they had an extremely stressful start but after 2.30 hours they were ok to leave.”<\/p>\n

The Mobile Passport Control (MPC) application is an official, complimentary U.S Customs and Border Protection tool that speeds up American entry for citizens, lawful residents, and qualifying visitors.<\/p>\n

The technology<\/a> enables travellers to submit passport details and customs declaration information through their mobile device, allowing them to skip standard queues at more than 30 airports and 4 seaports by accessing a designated, swifter lane.<\/p>\n

The family has been making the most of their time together, visiting Wekiwa Springs State Park for a day out and sharing picnics.<\/p>\n

The mum of 22 only recently got back from the Canary Islands \u2013 after facing criticism over a “tone deaf” post about her cancelled Dubai trip.<\/p>\n

She attracted backlash after criticising the travel firm she’d booked with for her original holiday choice, with many branding her “tone deaf” given the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"22 Kids and Counting star Sue Radford shared how her daughter’s birthday trip to America got off to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384754,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2078,321,128771,93,171310,16587,61,60,128300],"class_list":{"0":"post-384753","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-apps","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-days-out","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-holiday-cottages-and-villas","13":"tag-holidays","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-sue-radford"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
