A mother and her four-year-old daughter were detained in Dubai for three days in rough conditions after drinking a glass of wine on an Emirates flight.
According to The Daily Mail, Dr. Ellie Holman, a 44-year-old Swedish dentist living in the U.K., was traveling to see friends on one of her many trips to the United Arab Emirates when she was offered a glass of wine on the airplane. When entering the country, she was asked to buy a ticket and return home after a UAE immigration official claimed her visa was no longer valid. After insisting her visa was valid and requesting to apply for a new visa in the airport claiming her and her young daughter were exhausted, the immigration officer asked her if she had been drinking.
