cragman 2,843 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) I thought I'd ask on here first as there seems to be some clever c*$ts about....My old folks would like to fly to Belfast airport from the mainland, but they don't have a passport. Is it possible to still be able to fly over to Belfast without one and if so, what photographic evidence, if any, would they need? Don't guess a reply, just facts please or I'll tell my dad.

cragman 2,843 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ferries no problem, they just want to cut their travelling time down from 8 hours to half an hour! The old man has a drivers license, the old dear nowt! I suppose we'll check with the airline . Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,835 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 you can fly to belfast on a provisional licence with nearly all airlines (i do know ryanair wont let you fly without a passport).. if you check the terms of the airline some will let you fly on other forms of ID ... i have been on the ferry without id and i know other people who have done so.. best ring them up and ask .. the trouble in belfast shouldnt be a problem it happens every year around this time , some people dont like the thought of prods enjoying them selves 1 Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,843 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 That is a deal. Spotted some guys around the foot of the Mourns last year when we were over with Lurchers. I nearly stopped the car and asked if I could walk out with them. I love the place. Link to post Share on other sites
