Passports and Travelling to London (1 Viewer)

You need one on Ryanair but with Aer Lingus a driving licence or something will do, yeah?

You'll be grand with a driving licence with Aer Lingus.

I was in London last week. When we got back to Dublin they made us go through passport control. I didn't see any way around it. I had me passport, but I wonder what'd have happened if I didn't. Not sure a drivers license would work in passport control.

It's such a Catch-22. If you're a British or Irish citizen you don't need a passport to travel in the Common Travel Area, but how do you prove you're a citizen without a passport?

Just show them your boarding card showing that you have just come from the UK. They have no right to ask for your passport if you have come from the UK.

 

[fannell]

Yes, very correct.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

go by sail and rail. you could turn up with a post-it with your name written on it and they'd still let you on

[GO]

Yes, very correct.

How can something be very correct?

I'm equally as confused Gaz but theres no way fannell ; would say that if it wasn't true. fannell ; just isn't like that

 

[Goodbye]

Very true. I wasn't let on a ryanair flight because of this shite. Someone else booked the flight (a group of us going), I showed up at the airport, ryanair wan asks for a passport, I reply "what for? I'm only going to London".
After much fecking around I stayed home while the rest of the group went on to London.

Previously I had gone to London on Air Lingus without any ID whatsoever.

Needless to say but I've had nothing to do with ryanair since. Arseholes.

Now in fairness you did try to go to a foreign country without a passport. Just saying like.


*prods Santino*

My advise is get a passport just in case Ireland collapses while your away and you end up living in the departure terminal at Stanstead for years.

Do you take your passport when traveling up north? Thats england too.

 

[washingcattle]

I don't go up north.

Ever.

I think you'll find that the terms of the good friday agreement states that technically it's not.

And the phrase you're looking for is Britain.

*Further prodding*

 

[Goodbye]
