Usually, yes, but check with airports and airline/s.

PuzzlingPuzzle · 15/02/2019 00:15

Feck! Check with your airline but you will hopefully be fine if it’s an internal flight. I know FlyBe let you fly domestic within the U.K. on a driving licence as I’ve done it myself.

@PuzzlingPuzzle ooh I like the cut of your jib, I’m flying Flybe!

Yes, I had a passport failure (ok I forgot it) recently and just used my DL. You will look quite sophisticated and well travelled just passing over the card.

My gran flew domestic with Flybe on her bus pass a few years ago

Justaboy · 15/02/2019 00:42

Arent they going broke or being taken over in a rescue deal?.

Bryjam · 15/02/2019 00:45

Yes they are. If the shareholders reject the take over on 4th March the company will be wound up.

Oh, that's a shame. I like Flybe. They're a good little airline, with some sweet little planes.

mytieisascarf · 15/02/2019 01:19

I just flew from Gatwick to Glasgow and didn't show id to anyone.

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 15/02/2019 01:21

Yep as long as you aren’t flying outside the uk, just only need to show id

JagerPlease · 15/02/2019 08:11

Yeah driving license is fine, and unless you're checking in a bag it's unlikely you'll need to show it anyway

It's likely that the airline will be taken by virgin and the same staff/aircraft will still be around. The only thing to change from the passenger point of view will be the colour of the plane!

Depends on the airline. Ryanair insist on passport. BA fine with DL.

sequinafortune · 15/02/2019 19:18

Yeah, I flew Flybe this week - DL was fine Grin

DeathyMcDeathStarFace · 15/02/2019 20:13

My dh flew from Bristol to Glasgow about 4 years ago using his driving license for ID. He doesn't have a passport, all he needed was pictorial ID.

You should be ok.
