Hi Melvyn No, you don't need a passport and long as you have a photographic driving licence that will be fine. Jojo x

On the TV the other night a lady tried to get to Scotland with 'Easyjet' without a passport and they refused her,she went to Heathrow and flew by BA. so if you want to fly with 'Easyjet' take your Passport. Hal.

Just found this by googling Easyjet The airline requires all passengers to provide photographic ID at check-in on all flights including domestic services. Acceptable forms of ID on UK domestic flights are: A valid passport - an expired passport can be used up to a maximum of two years after expiry Valid photographic EU or Swiss national identity card Valid photographic driving licence Valid armed forces identity card Valid police warrant card/badge Valid airport employees security identity pass A child on parent' s passport is an acceptable form of ID CitizenCard Valid photographic firearm certificate Valid Government-issued identity card SMART card Electoral identity card Acceptable form of non-photographic ID: Pension Book' I would still google the airline home page and check though!

Thank you to you all, Last March I lost my passport. I fly tomorrow so Ithought to myself I would check on here if it was still ok to use a Driving licesne for internal flights. I then said to myself I will just check behind my kitchen units because the junk drawer contents overflow and spills down and behind the kitchen cupboards and there it was just looking at me my passport abit dusty and tatty for being behind the kitchen for 6mths plus. So this is a happy person going to pack his case!!!!!!!!!
