...and the two which stand out most are...

valid photographic forces identity card
valid police warrant card / badge

...both of which are difficult to obtain and are not accepted by the Ryans. Good for Easy here.

We're at a cleft stick. If Ryanair's rules are strictly for commercial reasons, exceptions might sometimes be appropriate.

If they're strictly for security reasons, exceptions would be reckless. There can be no shades of grey, otherwise you'd get people sweet-talking their way airside with an al-Quaeda membership card.

How can this be for security when Student Cards are valid forms or ID. This is blatently commercial....remember most students go for the cheapest form of transport...hence Ryan air when flying.

You may need to produce documentation to get an ISIC card but to get hold of an NUS card was a joke when I was studying. Anyone could get hold of an NUS card ...the required documentation to get an ISIC card.

Getting an exception, well if you have Cabinet Ministers requesting that forces ID's be accepted then I think they should consider it.
