Edinburgh: So, you’re wondering if kids need a passport for flights within the UK, right? Well, here’s the scoop.
When flying domestically, like from Edinburgh to London, kids under 16 don’t need a passport. That’s pretty handy!
But, the adult traveling with them does need some form of photo ID to confirm who they are. It’s all about keeping things safe.
Now, if a child is 14 or 15 and flying solo, they’ll need to show some ID. Just a little extra step for those older kids.
As for adults, you don’t need a passport either, but you will need a valid photo ID. This could be a driving license, an EU national ID card, or even a police warrant card.
And yes, a passport works too if you have one. Easy peasy!
Oh, and if you’re curious about traveling to the Republic of Ireland, it’s a bit different. UK citizens don’t need a passport, but they do need some form of photo ID.
So, whether you’re off to London or beyond, just make sure you’ve got the right ID, and you’re good to go!
