ID requirements for domestic travel
To board your flight, you must present one of the above-listed forms of photo ID. The name on the identification document must match the passenger name exactly.
Passengers over 16 years old can travel on domestic flights if one of the above-listed identification documents is provided. Infants and children up to the age of 15 are not required to show photo ID on domestic flights.
Republic of Ireland travel
British and Irish citizens must have a form of photographic ID that proves their nationality/citizenship for immigration purposes, such as a valid passport.
Driving licences are not accepted for travel between the UK and Ireland.
British and Irish citizens under the age of 18 do not need a passport when travelling with a parent or guardian but it is highly recommended that they have one. Without a passport, the parent/guardian must be able to prove the relationship with the child, showing a birth certificate or a marriage certificate.
A child of any other nationality must hold a passport which is covered for the period of intended stay.
International travel
All passengers on international flights must be in possession of a valid passport and, where required, a valid visa. The name on the identification document must match the passenger name exactly.
Nationals of the EEA/EU or Switzerland travelling to the United Kingdom must be in possession of a valid passport, as National ID cards issued by the EEA/EU and Switzerland are no longer acceptable to enter the UK (unless you hold a form of residence status in the UK).
Children and infants require their own valid passport for travel abroad.
