EasyJet I/D
When EasyJet state that a current driving licence is required ( Edinburgh to Gatwick flight )for I/D does anyone know if that means a UK driving licence or would a current Australian one suffice.
thanks

There may be limitations on flying with no passport - I was under the impression that one could only use a driving licence as ID if one did not have any checked baggage/suitcases.When I was 'commuting' with EJ between BRS/GLA I did sometimes use my Driving Licence but I rarely had any bags with me.

Thinks... wonder if I should try flying domestic on EJ without my passport; I have an old paper driving licence with no photo. The only photo ID I have for myself is my passport !

AyrTC It might be worth a quick phone call to easyJet. As you're not crossing a state border (yet) then immigration/Border Force aren't going to be interested in you and so a passport isn't required. However, most airlines want proof of who they are flying, hence a current Driver's licence. So long as it's issued by a govt authority, it should be ok. It should have a photo, address, name and age on it.
From the link in my previous post:
Photographic ID is required on all domestic flights.
It has been many years since one could walk on to a domestic flight armed only with a 'Boarding Card' - it was like getting on a bus.
Unfortunately the world has changed since then and photo ID is a sensible requirement.

I recall that Ryanair required passports on ALL flights.
BA were the most flexible - credit/bank card ...?
However my memory is proving to be quite unreliable:-)

I don't see how Ryanair or any airline require passports on all flights as they are not required if the departure and arrival points are in the same country. In the UK that's any airport in England, Scotland, Wales,Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
Only photographic ID is required so they can see that the same person that has checked in is getting on the flight. Bank/credit cards wouldn't be any good as they don't have a photo on them.
