Can i fly without a passport to the uk?

Question

I am going to england from ireland at the end of september, flying with ryanair. My passport expired in july, but i have a full valid drivers license. The website says i can fly if i check in at the airport, but people have been telling me, through experience that i do need a passport! Does anyone know the truth?? Also, can a 5 year old check in on-line when flying to England with ryanair if holding a valid passport?

Answer 1

No.  You need a passport.

Answer 2

I would call the airlines and ask them this question

Answer 3

Get a new passport. Travelling without a passport is looking for trouble.

Answer 4

If your passport expired in July and you are not flying until the end of September, you have time to get your passport renewed. If you are not a citizen of Ireland, visit your embassy and get it resolved immediately. (This frankly sounds like something only an American would ask.)

Check with the airline about online check-in for minors.  

Answer 5

you may want to pay the fee and get a new passport

if it was me i wouldnt fly anywhere without one it may cause trouble somewhere and you may be stuck so better safe then sorry  

Answer 6

ask the airlines
