<human>: So a little bit of background story, me and my family were planning on traveling to Europe for Christmas and bought tickets through travelocity, and had been planning this trip for months. I was so excited. I hadn't traveled or seen my brother in a while. We called travelocity the other day and had them clear up an issue with my passport, which expires in several months and for those who don't know, the EU now has laws against traveling with a passport that expires within 6 months, which mine does.

So we get to the airport today and get told that apparently the airline cannot do anything against EU laws, and travelocity talked to the wrong one about the issue, giving us the wrong information. We spent an hour sitting on a bench outside the airport absolutely livid at the fact that my dad and I have to spend Christmas at home while my mom goes to Barcelona to be with my brother so he isn't alone. 

Not expecting too much of a response to this, just needed to write it down and vent. So fuck you travelocity, for splitting up my family for the holidays, and taking away the thing I've looked forward to all semester.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Travelocity fucks up by selling us tickets and instructing us we are fine to travel, when we actually aren't, which ends up splitting up my family for the holiday
