Just a quick question maybe someone could answer for me,  Im travelling with ryanair on wednesday from belfast to glasgow. I cant find my passport anywhere, their website says a driving liscense is fine as photo id, no mention of provisional liscences, anyone know if they are alright???

A provisional licence is still a driving licence and you will be fine with it..The security at airports is so slack now you could near fly with a gym card.....

We were going to Liverpool on easyjet about 5 years ago and one of my mates realised he had forgotten his passport at the airport. They let him on the plane after he showed them a school dinner pass with his photo on it  No shit. This was about 5 years ago

Jeeze! A few months back when I was going through security in Dublin there was a woman BAWLING because she'd lost the passport between checkin and security and they wouldnt let her any further.

I flew to Liverpool with my security pass from work...It is a pass to a government office but is not listed as one of the documents you are allowed to fly with. I had my licence in my wallet as well...just wanted to see if i could get away with using it..

You can't check in online with a driving license but have to check in at the airport. AFAIK there is a charge for this.

I have to bring the 5 month old to Cork, going to fly, as hospital is beside airport, do I need travel ID for baby as it is an internal flight Dublin to Cork? He is not on either of our passports>

i asked this a few weeks back and the info i got was driving licence are ok on ryanair flights for domestic flights if booked before some time in May, but this is changing in october when you will need a passport.

This is taken from the ryanair website.

Are driving licences accepted as a travel document on Ryanair flights?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A valid driving licence with photo is an accepted travel document on domestic flights but can only be used if checking in at the airport. A driving licence is NOT accepted when using online check-in

PLEASE NOTE – passengers making new bookings from the 20th May 2009 onwards will no longer be able to select to check-in at the airport and therefore will be unable to book flights and use their driving licence as photo-id.

From the 1st October 2009 driving licences will NO LONGER be an acceptable travel document on Ryanair flights

Make sure you have everything in place or they'll fine you about £200 if they can. If all your t's aren't crossed and i's dotted Micky O Leary's gonna get ya

This should be a sticky . This gets asked every month.

[ludermor]

And different answers each month!

Finally got through to them and baby needs own passport! Have to try and get passport in 1 day by going to passport office, need flight confirmation before they will rush it, cant get flight confirmation without passport. Red f**king tape!

For all carriers other than Ryanair, a passport is not required when travelling internal in Ireland or between Ireland and the UK.
Last year I brought my young lad to the UK on Aer Lingus without any ID for him.

Heading to San Fran in Nov with the wife. My brother in law booked the aer lingus flights and has put her married name down, but her passport still has her maiden name on it.

Anyone know what can be done about this? Will we have to pay for a name change? I've heard someone say to bring a marriage certificate..is this true?

Plus when did aer lingus stop flying direct dub to san fran? We have to stop in feckin Chicago, were we will no doubt have more problems with the name on the booking
