My elderly neighbours are flying to Scotland with Easyjet, he has a picture driving licence and she has picture disability badge. My question is... can they use these to fly with or will they need other I.D.
If they need something else what can they get baring in mind neither has a passport and will never be leaving the UK. TIA

i think youll need to discuss this with the airline they are considering. Some will only take passports as proof of ID, even for domestic flights

I've tried for 2 days now to get through to Easyjet without any luck - my neighbours are traveling in 6 weeks so I'm worried about the length of time (and cost) it will take to get them new I.D.'s
driving licence and pension book are both acceptable. doesnt mention disability badge though

Not sure if any photo ID will do.

Thank you so much for that I've been in absolute panic. They are both in their late 80's and it's been my responsibility to see to all their needs. All I need to do now is order one of those electric buggy things to take them to the plane.
Once again thank you xx

I've managed to book a wheelchair for the Mrs but will have to keep trying to get through to Easyjet to arrange the buggy type thing. I might try ringing the airport tomorrow too. Thanks again all xx
