Yes - full fare with Easyjet I'm afraid and they do ask for photo ID. We fly with them regularly and have always been asked for passports (or acceptable photo ID) for all of us including ds2 who has only just turned two, so we'll have to fork out for him now every time we visit my parents! Pants! I really wouldn't risk lying about his age - you could end up stuck at the airport having to pay much more for his seat on the day than you will if you're booking honestly now.

Wonder if it's because we're travelling from London then, or perhaps to N Ireland, but that is part of UK and no more requires a passport than travelling to Scotland. Still wouldn't risk it though.
When are you going Tracyk - I'm heading up to Glasgow too in a couple of weeks from London.

\link{http://www.easyjet.com/en/Book/regulations.html#infants\look here}. Scroll down to section 13. It says that children under 16 who are travelling on UK and French domestic flights can travel without photo ID. We travelled Glasgow- Stansted this year with dd who is 4 and didn't require ID for her. So you can travel without ID for a child. Whether you should lie about your child's age to avoid paying for a seat is a question that your conscience will have to deal with

ex cabin crew and i can clarify you have to pay for a seat for children over 2 and they will challenge you over the age, it is safer for a child to be in there own seat than on your knee anyway. there are good reasons for these rules and when i flew it used to really annoy me when parents wouldnt follow them
