ROI & NI ID required to travel to U.K. (Aerlingus&Ryanair)

kingbhome · 07-01-2019 8:47pm

I know one doesnt allow to board a plane without a passport if traveling to the UK from Ireland but which one is it. Usually fly flybe without needing a passport, only a driving license but need to fly from a different airport, different times and can only fly ryan air or aer lingus and need to know before i book.

Ryanair demand a passport. Photo ID for UK on all the others. Pre Brexit anyway

I know that Ryanair require passports to fly between UK and Ireland (even with the CTA) but I’m wondering do they actually scan them to check validity or if it’s just a visual check by gate staff?

I need to renew my passport (expires in a few months) but have a couple of Ryanair flights between UK and Ireland upcoming during those months.

The passport itself looks valid til April but once the new passport starts processing online, it’ll null the old one in the system.

I’m about 90% sure it’s just a visual check to make sure it matches your boarding pass and is in date but any advice would be welcome!

the online renewal for irish passports will have your passport to you within a week normally. Is that quick enough?

There are no scans of passports leaving Ireland whether by any airline or the government, so even if your old passport is reported as being expired, no-one will know and you dont need a passport when re-entering ireland from the UK.

I'd just renew it now and get it done if you know it'll expire before a scheduled flight, no point leaving it to chance and as munchkin said the online process takes around a week so you've plenty of time, even taking into account possible delays in getting the new one.
