Why are Ryanair so restrictive though in what they will accept as id? Many people do not have d/licences, passports or national id cards - the latter is not available in the UK anyway.
easyJet will accept a lot more documents as id which makes life easier for the passenger, and does it really compromise security that much? If Ryan think some of the documents that easy will accept but they won't are easier to get hold of illegally or even forge then where is the evidence?
Is a police warrant card or an armed forces id card (both of which easyJet accept) really simpler to steal, forge or otherwise illegally obtain than a passport or driving licence? I don't think so.
And, as I said earlier, when my wife and I flew to and from Guernsey with another airline we were asked for no identification whatsoever.
No wonder passengers become confused and think that at times some airlines make rules for the sake of it.
