Flying From Uk Mainland To N.ireland

[rio666uk]

Question:

We (my wife and I) have been invited to a wedding in Belfast in mid October.

Problem:

We've just sent both our passports off to the lovely IND as part of our ILR application, fingers crossed we'll get the ILR and our passports back in time, realistically i think not though...

and no doubt even if i do not, my wife will be expected to produce her passport at the airport... domestic flight or not!

any ideas ?

I know if your flying with Easyjet all they require is photograpic identification and a driving liscense suffices,Dont know about anyone else but i would doubt there should be any difference.

Shouldnt worry too much ..however...

First of all you say that you are flying mainland to Belfast....think mainland to Brum ...Edinburgh or Cardiff....same single country .....little bit of water

On the otherhand nowadays its handy to carry ID when travelling especially a Passport even when only visiting a public toilet such is the level of paranoia over security so why take a chance.

Even domestic flights are insisting on Positive ID documentation for the most basic journeys and it is well advertised that passengers offering their BBC Blue Peter and or Tufty Clubs badges often get refused get refused.

Whe they started this a couple of years ago (never tell you anything..U.gotta read their minds) we were leaving on a run from Prestwick to Stansted and didnt have much to show apart from that is a couple of Wedding Pics ..which they accepted ..Ryan -Air)....but only the once..

Best thing to do is give them a calland ask what they will accept.Usually anything legal looking with a picture .IE Driving License but it seems not a Student Union card....so Buzz them first...

Bit of Bumfp from Easy...wot airlines...FIO..
