    Hi,

    I'm flying Ryanair to the UK next month. I used my driving licence before to travel there before, and it still says it on there website
    For British and Irish citizens who are travelling on flights to/from the United Kingdom to/from the Republic of Ireland (Common Travel Area), a valid driving licence with photo is acceptable photo ID

    But my friend thats going with me says she was talking to a business man (she works in a hotel) today and he said you cant use a driving licence anymore!

    I dont think this is true, Anyone know if you still can ?

    You can continue to use a driving license as ID on a ryanair flight providing that you are NOT checking in online. If you use the check-in desks you can continue to travel with a drivers license until next year.
