A hilarious new viral trend pokes fun at the common British phenomenon of the 'Airport Dad'.
It's a character that will be familiar to anyone who has embarked on a family holiday overseas.
He's the one who sets the alarm for the crack of dawn, hauling everyone up and out of the house in order to arrive a good five hours before scheduled take-off.
Once at the airport he checks, double checks and then triple checks that everyone has their passports, before insisting on keeping hold of them himself in a special passport wallet.
With four hours to go until the plane leaves and with everyone safely checked-in and through security, the Airport Dad constantly checks the departure board for any possible update.

These are, according to the new TikTok trend, just some of the qualities that distinguish the Airport Dad.
The video platform is full of humorous clips of dads leading their exhausted looking families to the airport against the dark morning skies, and then striding SAS like through the terminal - truly men on a mission.
If you find yourself getting in more of a flap than your kids when stuck in a lengthy queue for security or stumped by the automatic check-in gates then you too may be an Airport Dad, according to the trend.
Other tell-tale signs include cooking all the food in the house into one mega breakfast before jetting off on holiday, and insisting on being the one to place hold bags on the luggage conveyor belt.
The light-hearted trend has seen family members and kids sharing clips of their dads or partners taking on the Airport Dad role - and other TikTok users have been quick to share how they relate.
TikToker Abbey Strong filmed her dad in Dublin Airport, and quipped in the caption: "Straight in the door and he's off. First onto the escalator, establishing dominance and need for speed."
Abbey said that her dad insisted on being in charge of the passports and treated her sister Emily to the silent treatment for not putting her liquids into a clear plastic bag before getting to the airport.
"A condescending wave mid explaining why Emily can't hold her own passport... Enough messing, must regain focus," Abbey joked.
"The silent treatment for Emily as she did not pack her liquids a week in advance. Quadruple checking the passports in case they've been stolen in the past 10 seconds."
TikTok users praised Abbey's dad for his organisational skills and said they recognised him as a character.
"The most accurate thing I have ever witnessed," one person wrote.
Another added: "I am actually howling. This is my family."
A third wrote: "It's the passport bit. I laugh because that's what I do. No one is allowed them."
