Anyone in the flight business?
Son is in Dublin and booked Ryanair to travel to UK at the end of the week. But he has lost his Passport and Ryanair want this for him to travel. No time for fast track renewal but he can get emergency travel documents by visiting the British Embassy in Dublin.
My question is will Ryanair accept these as they work in a world of their own. Impossible to phone Ryanair and ask of course
Long shot but anyone know?

Thanks mb. Yep I had read that and no mention of accepting "Emergency Travel Documentation" which I think they will but would like to be sure otherwise whole trip is buggered up.
Crazy that you can drive off to NI without any documentation but jump on a plane to same destination (UK) and you need a bloody Passport
All very Irish. dl

Bizarre, as i've used my driving licence for Aer Lingus before now, and a work colleague even used his work ID pass that has his picture on once.... Anyone could have made that... :lol2:

If he was in Belfast, you would have a point

I agree its daft,
I can go to edinburgh, via car or train, with no problems whatsoever, but should i choose to fly, i need a passport!
We have to have a passport, (because nothing else will do), yet members of eu countires can travel on ID cards, (little more than our driving licence)
Yet we cant use our Photo id driving licences, (even for internal flights)
and looking at the list of documents allowed by other countries, why are we so restricted?

I think you have missed the point of my post
Yes he in in Ireland but can travel to NI which I appreciate is in UK by road without the need for a Passport of, for example, fly Aer Lingus and just use a driving licence. But if he flies using Ryanair they insist on a Passport.

A new twist
My wonderful son has now found an old Passport that had been reported lost a couple of years back but is still in date.
So do Ryanair simply look at the Passport for validity and photo likeness or is it more than that??
I am pretty sure it is just a quick glance and no computer checks made.
Comments please.

That's the comprehensive 20 minute course then
Only problem with son's passport if that photo is of a fresh faced 15 year old schoolboy but he is now a bearded long haired yoof. But I suppose they are used to that.

It's an international flight, so they usually want passport details in advance.
Don't forget that as he's coming from Ireland, he will need to pass through immigration where his passport will be scanned........

He's bringing his g/f over (for the first time ) but only for a day and a half so doesn't want to mess the trip up. Any new flight/travel plan now would be too expensive for him. He is going to Br Embassy in Dublin tomorrow to hopefully get an Emergency Passport for the trip, Euro 95
Then apply for replacement Passport in UK by post which is now stated as 3 week turnaround rather than 6 weeks quoted on website last week

Ryan air just glance at the passport, BUT when he gets to the UK they WILL scan it and that's where the VALID travel document will be required, so it's a good idea to get the emergency one, otherwise he will be sent to guantanamo bay and be sexually abused by female guards.
Any changes to Ryan air flights incur an "admin fee" which is usually greater than the cost of the flight, thats if you can manage to navigate to the section of the website that lets you do it, so may as well re-book a new one.

the requirement for a passport is a Airline thing, surely
I have travelled on the Swansea/Cork and Rosslare/Fishguard ferry quite a few times, I don't remember taking my passport let alone showing it

Anyway he now has emergency documents so we are back on course.
I will send him to Guantanamo if he loses his Passport again
Thanks for all input. David
