Looks like I might have to fly to Scotland from Bristol for a funeral. Both of our passports are out of date. I have a photo driving licence but my wife doesn't. Would a photographic bus pass provide enough id?
Don't know yet. Lady just passed this afternoon and so I don't know what the arrangements will be. Why? Does the ID requirement change between airlines?
You just need photo ID when travelling within the UK. It makes no difference what ID Ryanair need (for example) as they are not a UK airline. Contact your airline and they will be able to tell you
Well the only airline that goes to Scotland from Bristol is Easyjet (or BMI to Inverness) so it's Easyjet's policy you need. And yes my understanding is Ryanair require passports for all flights.
Why does one need a passport for an internal flight?
Will they be needed on trains next?
Why not just let everyone have an I.D. card?
Waits for the deluge.
Daisy, just because of that - we don't have ID cards, otherwise we wouldn't need to produce other evidence. This was on a thread the other day, from someone who didn't have a passport.
"Why? Does the ID requirement change between airlines?"
For the same reason that if you were to knock on my door and ask to come in I could say to you "unless you produce a valid UK passport you can't come in" whereas my neighbour might say "unless you can produce a valid bus pass you can't come in"
The property owner sets the rules, or, in this case... the airline sets the rules.
