An Australian woman was unable to board a flight for her dream holiday to Bali because of a tiny tear in her passport.
Elyse Elmer was due to fly out to Bali from Sydney, but was stopped from boarding the plane by officials.
'So in Australia, at the counter, they refused to let me on the flight,' Ms Elmer explained in a video posted to social media.

Ms Elmer was one of dozens of Australians turned away with only minor damage to their travel documents in recent years.
