Flybe - UK Flights - No Passport

Traffic_Warden · 9 Feb 2013 at 19:52

Hi,

Can i fly inside the UK (Scotland to England) via Flybe, and give them my driving licence as proof of ID? My passport has gone out of date 3 days before i need to fly and i need to know weather i should still book the flights or not!

Many Thanks

For a domestic flight FlyBe are very relaxed in what they'll take. I've been flying regularly using my work's ID badge for years.

FlyBe will accept an out of date passport for internal flights providing it isn't over 2 years expired. They'll also take a driving licence, so take both and you'll be fine!

What about being ID'd for alcohol? I have recently renewed my passport, but if I still had my old one, how long past expiry will shop/pubs accept it as ID?

HangTime · 9 Feb 2013 at 22:18

I'd imagine it would be down to the organisation, heck even the individual checking it where pubs are concerned.

Realistically, someone who looks young enough to get asked for ID probably looks fairly different from a 10+ year old passport photo in any case so I wouldn't want to chance it if it was important.

Cheers HangTime. I had my passport renewed at 24 and 34 (now), so yes my picture will be considerably different 10 years apart. I still get carded frequently, so had to renew it really even if I've not been abroad since 2008 and not considering another trip any time soon.
