Id On Internal Uk Flights

[Mr-H]

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 Both of our passports are out of date.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?

[boxtops]

I don't know how many people these days don't have a passport, though?

[Prudie]

They acquiesce because the price of the flight is so attractive.

[DaisyNonna]

Many people do not have a passport. Or a driving licence as I know to my cost. I did without either for 35 years.

[KJN]

Easyjet T and C

The following are acceptable forms of ID.

UK domestic flights:

A valid passport - an expired passport can be used up to a maximum of two years after expiry

A child on parent' s passport is an acceptable form of ID

i don't have a passport boxy

[TWR]

I would have thought the reason for an up to date passport, is in case of the worst!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EcclesCake]

But not everyone can afford ~£100 just in case of emergencies TWR. Especially in this scenario when the train can be used.

[TWR]

Quickness Eccles.

[EcclesCake]

For domestic travel an intercity train and connections is often just as good as a plane.

And doesn't (currently require) photo ID.

[EcclesCake]

^^^apologies for dodgy use of brackets.

[TWR]

No probs, have you recovered from your far east hols?

[EcclesCake]

Jeez, that was months ago TWR, I've been away once again since then and am currently sorting my next sortie to Egypt!

Thanks for asking!

[DaisyNonna]

Until a few years ago had none of those KJN. Now I have a passport just not worth the hassle to catch internal flight. Would have to get a bus to the station to catch a train to an airport. Possibly a connecting train to the airport itself. Check in and hang about for a couple of hours, hope the flight was not delayed. Revers procedure at the other end.
Too much hassle.

[Mr-H]

Just to let you know, I emailed easyJet and asked them. They confirmed that a 'Local Authority train, bus or library card' would allow an internal flight.

[Mr-H]

Just to follow on, I have retained the email (with a Customer Service name on it) if anyone wants it!! Their webpage does not show this.
