Traveling with expired BRP card with ILR

Hello,

My family and I have a trip booked to the States to visit family. We currently live in the UK and have ILR. One of my sons' Biometric Residence Permit card has expired (he's six years old) and we understand that the processing time will be six months. As we can't afford to wait six months until we visit family, I'm wondering if we will be able to travel with his expired BRP card? Since he has indefinite leave to remain (and we have the letter from the home office to prove it) can we travel with the letter to show to customs until we receive his new BRP card?

thank you. on both threads the families seemed to have trouble flying from india back to the uk. however, in my case, we would be flying to American to visit family for a week and then back to the UK (we're American citizens with ILR in the UK) back to the UK. With this in mind, would we be able to safely travel back to the UK with my son's expired biometric residence permit card? or would i have to call the airline to determine if they will let us on board?
