Passport needed for flights to Kerry?

Hi,
Do you need a passport to travel from Dublin to Kerry? How long does an emergency passport take? Thanks in advance

As Dublin and Kerry are both in Ireland no passport is needed, just a bus ticket.

samhail

usually they are pretty quick with passports, within 2 weeks, i think when i got my passwort rushed it came within the week (if you tell them that you need it by a certain date i think they usually can help out).
website below says they can do it next day.
price is a factor though, looks like 55e if u have proof u are travelling

If you are flying with Ryanair then you will require a passport for flights to everywhere.

You need a passport to fly from Dublin to Kerry with Ryanair. I know a couple who got there out of date passports replaced in less than 2 hours on a Saturday.

It is possible but you have to pay a pretty penny for that service.

Maybe a driving licence might do? Your not proving citizenship of a country, just proving who are who you are so possible your driving licence would be sufficent! Check with your airline though!

I refer you to a previous post.

Does anyone other than Ryanair do Dublin->Kerry?

No

Ok from Ryanair FAQ

A valid travel document is required by all passengers travelling on Ryanair flights (including infants)

In order to ensure compliance, passengers should carry a valid passport (and visa if applicable) or government issued national identification card on all journeys.

Ergo, you don't need a passport if you have a government issued national identification card.


Btw, the bus journey is about 4 hours, the same time it takes you to fly (incl going to airport, flying, queuing for luggage ...)

Overature

you do caus Kerry want to become an independent state because of all the crap that people give them over the years

Ergo, you do need a passport as we'll assume that the OP is more than likely Irish so a national ID card is not an option.

We are also of course also assuming that they are not talking about flying themselves from Dublin to Kerry in their own light aircraft, or in a hot air balloon, or a microlight.

So assuming that the method of flying from Dublin to Kerry is with Ryanair, and that the OP is not French/ German/ Spanish, or whatever EU countries it is that have national ID cards, then you do need a passport. If they did happen to not actually be an Irish or UK citizen though then they really should have their passport on them anyway to have got into this country in the first place.

OP, you (as it's a fairly safe assumption that you're Irish) will need a valid passport as you can only check-in online for Ryanair flights nowadays, and to do so, you need to include the details from your passport.

You can travel virtually* all over Europe without showing a passport (by air and other means). Aside from the bureaucratic, screwed up British Isles. Airports in every other part of Europe have managed to separate intra-Schengen passenger flows from foreign flights (eg from USA, Australia, China, Africa, Latin America, Asia etc). Most Irish airports can't even manage this on flights within the Republic.

Aer Lingus accepts the following ID types:

1. Passport 2. Drivers licence with photo 3. International student card 4. National ID card 5. Bus pass with photo 6. Work ID with photo

High time Europeans boycotted Ryanair, until they mend their manners. Else let them go out of business. There are plenty of other low cost carriers - most of them far more user-friendly, than these incompetent prats!

Ryanair specializes in making life difficult for the customer. They recently announced plans to ban checked baggage completely. If you want to bring something, in future you will have to bring it on board yourself as hand baggage. Terror obsessed Britain has forced the EU to ban liquids and a whole basket of perfectly safe items from cabin baggage. Which means that many simple items won't be allowed on Ryanair flights at all.

Theyre not banning checked baggage, just removing check in desks and having baggage dropoffs instead..

You are behind the times! Baggage dropoffs is yesterday's story. Banning checked baggage completely is the next move in the Ryanair pipeline.

Read the article. The number of stories covering this stupid move are growing!
