Scots will need passports for England

SCOTTISH TRAVELLERS (that is all people departing from Scotland) will now need passports if they wish to fly on Ryanair to England.  The same goes from Northern Ireland to both England and Scotland.  From England you do not escape because you also need a passport.  That is the latest ruse (for which there is no charge) by the Irish airline in the determined attempts to defeat logic and attack passengers.  People wishing to fly must be in possession of a valid passport or a government issued National Identity card which has been issued solely for the purpose of identification (ie driver’s licence, electoral register cards etc are not included).  Clients who arrive at an airport without a valid form of identification, as advised and agreed to at the time of their booking, will not be able to travel.  It would seem that if you booked say six months ago, when it is assumed this rule was not in place, and now turned up without a passport, that would be OK, although, knowing the Ryanair method of dealing with its clients, ill advised.  Spur of the moment trips, unless you have your passport on you, are now not on. The UK government will be pleased with this move as everyone travelling on the routes will require an (expensive) passport. www.ryanair.com
