Would my 3 month old need a passport to fly to Ireland or Scotland from Cardiff/Bristol?

Rylie’s Mammy! asked:


If so, can you think of any other places in UK we could visit for a few days that are child friendly?

    Yes, you need a passport to fly.

    Most places in the UK are child friendly.

  • Sarah Sugar butt

    Yes you would need a passport!!!

  • mandie

    No. I know that Ryanair dont need I.d from Stanstead to Shannon for under 16s so you should be fine.

    I se people are disagreeing so why not check out the websites and look at their conditions.

    Depends which part of Ireland but definitely not Scotland. Or at leat that was the case the last time I took an internal flight.

    Edit: just found this on the web:

    you travel with a valid passport on UK domestic flights but will accept one of the following as an alternative, providing it includes a photograph and is valid on the date of travel:

    EU or Swiss national ID card
    CitizenCard
    Driving licence
    Student ID card (international, National Union of Students or University/College ID)
    Armed forces ID card
    Police warrant card/badge
    Airport employees security ID pass
    Government issued ID card
    Official Company ID card
    Electoral ID card (EIC issued to eligible N Ireland citizens)
    UK Council issued bus pass (Senior Citizens only)
    Fire Arms certificate
    We will also permit an expired UK passport for use on domestic flights for up to two years after expiry.

    A child travelling with an adult on a UK domestic flight does not require additional ID. Unaccompanied young persons aged 14-16 must carry photographic ID on UK domestic flights.

    Any child, any age (even infant) needs a passport to fly out of the country. You can get one within a couple weeks, though…no big deal.

    No.
    Adults need photographic id for domestic flights (this includes UK to Ireland) Under 16s do not id. This can be a driving license OR a passport.

    Anywhere outside the UK and Ireland and your baby will need a passport.

    Yes, there are many 3 month old Al Qaeda sleeper cells waiting for the opportune time to strike

  • vampwithaheart

    the baby has to have a passport to fly within the UK including Northern Ireland, but an adult can fly with photo id such as a driving licensein the UK and Northern Ireland… but you ALL need a passport to fly to Eire!

    yes your child would need a passport.

    London is great they have a lot things that a child can do

    um here is a great website to go to find some places that are kid appropriate

  • laurenjgill

    you would probably yes if you were intending on flying, they wont even let you through the gates with a bottle of water so imagine a trying to get baby through with no passport

  • Lozzie

    I dont think so – i didnt think you needed a passport for flying internally

  • Todd
