    You don't need a passport to travel between the two but some airlines require a passport

    Answer is in your question... Aug 12th 2010 :p

    As was said above no need for passport if you are an Irish or British citizen.

    Better not let Joe Duffy know that - he'll loose a whole afternoon's programme

    You don't need a passport between the UK and Ireland. Just make sure that you have an acceptable form of photo id. Check the airline website to see what they accept.

    some might say that's because the two places overlap... Slab Murphy hardly needs Photo Id to walk around his house, but he wouldn't say the two places overlap....

    Unless you fly RyanAir, since the passport is the only acceptable form of ID.

    How can Ryanair demand a form of ID that is not a legal requirement for travel?

    They Don't. I've gone to England plenty of times with Ryanair and just used my Drivers License.

    The demand for ID is mainly to prevent credit card fraud..

    So if you don't produce the requisite ID they assume fraud and refund the card to protect the cardholder?

    The web site disagrees with you...


    "Ryanair also does NOT accept on any flight - driving licences, residence cards, family books, seaman books, military ID cards etc."

    No, since production of the ID was a condition of the sale, the ticket is forfeit and i assume they would try to charge you an administration fee for the privilege of being refused travel.

    They're a private commercial business, they can decide the terms and conditions for travel on their planes. You explicitly comfirm you have read and accept their terms when purchasing a ticket.

    Because they do what they want and don't care what anyone says. They're like the North Korea of airlines.
