Do I need a passport to fly from the UK to Republic of Ireland?

Question

I'm thinking of booking a flight from the UK to Republic of Ireland. However, my Passport has expired. I don't even have any photo ID such as the new driving licence. Can I still fly?

Answer 1

no! you need ID and I think all airlines now expect passports.  

Answer 2

Passport valid for at least three months beyond length of stay required by all except

1. persons born in the UK travelling direct from the UK (applicable to British passport holders only).

Note: Whilst UK citizens do not require a passport or visa to enter Ireland, most carriers by air or sea now require some form of identification with photograph, usually a passport or driving licence with photo. Visitors should check what form of ID is required with the individual airline, ferry company or travel agent before travelling

So basically as long as you are a british citizen you don't need a passport

Answer 3

Sorry but you have to have a passport or identity card. Its the only id they will accept.

Answer 4

Photo I.D. required.

Answer 5

There is no requirement for Irish and UK nationals but a nationally issued identification is required to travel under the air navigation regulations.

Answer 6

just photo id.
