Identity document requirement for BA domestic flights?
Quote: "I've now done some 30 departures to LCY with BA. For 26 of them I haven't been asked to produce any form of identity. For all other UK domestic sectors flown with BA (including Jersey and returns from LCY) I haven't been asked to produce ID. But 4 times on boarding this flight I have been asked to produce ID. 3 times by the same gate person. When queried I am told "it's an Isle of Man thing".
Is it? And if so can anyone tell me why?"
Good question!
Was always under the impression that it was an "airline thing": not required by BA and BD, required by AF (cityjet), BE, FR and U2. Don't know about the others such as EI, LS, T3, VS, etc..
Unless there's a way some of the no-frills are making money out of this, (forgotten your identification? - that'll be £50.00 please), it is a pointless exercise on a domestic route!
