Answer 1

Only if it's an OVERSEAS flight... even then they may sell you a ticket without a passport, but once you get to the bording desk, they won't let you board without a passport if it's AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT.

Nope..

Answer 4

Depends where you're going ... if its an international flight, then yes you might have to give full details - full names, dates of birth, passport details. They should be able to hold the reservation with just your details, though. Just get your friends' details through to the airline as soon as you can (get your friend to email them to you?) so that your booking is firm ...  

Answer 5

it really depends on where youon where you travelling too whither or not they need your passport details. if you have her dob and full pass port details then it should be no problem to book her flight,  if you are travelling to spain from the uk some airlines require advance passanger information which is your fulll name dob passport number passport expirey date, but usually you can do this after the purchase of the ticket,   read the airline terms and conditions for more sufficent information.

nope, they will happily take your money

Answer 7

If you are booking the flight with a travel agent or over the phone with the airline, you can do so without giving passport details (only nationality). If you're booking it online, it depends on the website. Some sites ask for passport details and will not let you continue to the purshase page unless you complete all of the fields.
