Do you need a passport to fly to northern ireland?

Question

i have an id card and im only 16

dose that change anything?

Answer 1

If you are flying from within the UK, you don't need a passport, just an approved form of photographic ID. Ring the airline and ask them if your ID card is acceptable.

Answer 2

You do definetely need a passport to fly there I know because I had to get one I'm going there this year. :) It's so annoying! (I'm in London)

Answer 3

You will need some form of official photo ID. Check the terms & condtions on the airlines website this will list the ID they will accept.

Answer 4

yes, if you leave a country besides EU

you have to have a passport

Answer 5

Possibly,but you will definately need photographic I.D. to travel on the airline.

Answer 6

Check with your carrier.  Technically if you board a British registered plan, then it is the carriers policy that will affect the decision.

If you board a non British registered plane then once you are airborne you are technically in that country of registration.

This means you are subject to the airline checking you are eligible to face the immigration of another country.

A final thing to bear in mind.  If a major security incident occurs whilst you are airborne, you may be diverted to another country, Eire of France for instance.  You could end up in an immigration holding centre.!

Answer 7

I guess this depends on where you're coming from.

Answer 8

Yes you do. Even though northern Ireland is part of the UK you still need a passport to get in. Its more a security and safety messure really. If you havent got one and your going to travel then you will need to get your parents to fill part of it in. so go get a form asap. Enjoy your hol

Answer 9

You hadn't used to. You deffo need one now all the laws have changed.

Answer 10

you didnt used to, because it is the UK, but now i think you need one for security, not just border pass.
