You even need a passport flying within the UK.

You should be able to use a driving Licence as it is in the EU.

Dont quote me on that though.

Bad idea, When I was working at Filton Airport we had a guy let a man on a flight for France on his drivers licence. The French border control wouldn't let him go without a passport.

Not strictly accurate. A passport is one of the recognised forms of ID when flying within the UK, it's not the only one.

The immigrants have been doing it for years you should have no problem

If you want a passport very quickly you'll need to go to the Passport Office in person. I'm not sure how it works if you've already applied for one though.

The nearest one to me is in Peterborough but there maybe be one in london.

There is. London Passport Office

Appreciated for the info, I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if there's any alternative.

I remember flying internally with easyjet and reading the thing, it just said picture ID. that was a few years ago though.

It's funny, I could use my ID card to get into the UK ( and I did 2 years ago) even though it's outside Schengen, hell I can get nearly anywhere in Europe and even to Turkey and Iceland with just my ID card and not a passport. Bit of a shame you guys don't have European ID cards over there.

Does anyone know any better way to contact the Public enquiry agency? It's been a day and half and I can't get through to them. The phone take me to automated voice recording straight away telling me to call back as they are busy, then as afternoon approaches, they've gone off work. what the hell

Have you tried the alternative numbers on websites like say no to 08 numbers

I don't think that's true is it?

Nope, well not for bmibaby anyway. Flew internally Manchester>Newquay using just my drivers license.

You def need a passport. what's it at the home office for? I work there so might be able to get you a fax number or something to use if it within my sort of area?

 

[bledd]

100% need your passport, I tried the driving license blag and got laughed at

ouch!

I flew internal, Birmingham to Aberdeen on my train pass!

Oh yeah...!

 

[-Laser-]

Ok, I've done some nosing about for you, if you send a fax to 02081963680 with your request, name dob, nationality, address, reason and date of travel, they should be able to do it for you, might be best to keep trying on the phone too though just in case.

Used to fly every two weeks between London and Aberdeen and never needed a passport.

Maybe that's because I checked in online? I don't know but pretty sure at the check in desks they just need your name and that's all.
