I have known my friend since 1997 and she has never flown but she realy wants to have a go at it so what I thought is, as a supprise, do a round trip to Stansted in March next year:
NCL – STN EZY282 DEPT06:50 ARRI08:05
STN – NCL EZY285 DEPT11:35 ARRI12:40
56.96 GBP
What’s bugging me is that she will be 15 and I will be 16 so I would be the adult and she would be the minor that I have to look after, I have a passport but she has nothing (the following)but I saw this on Easyjets website:
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
Acceptable form of non-photographic ID:
Pension Book
Children aged under 16 years travelling on UK or French domestic flights can travel without photo identification provided that they are travelling with an accompanying adult.
So does this mean she can travel with no ID?

I also used my bus pass and birth certificate when I flew with Jet2 to Belfast, I also took my mums passport which has my name in the back and it caused me no probs whatsoever.

Has she a bus pass or birth certificate? I used them last time I flew with them.
Probably

Ah… was that £56 for the two of you?
I had assumed that it was each!
Yes thats for both of us on a ruturn flight
I dont think they’ll let her go with no ID what so ever, if she has an old passport she can use that, bearing in mind it expired less than 2 years ago
Well she doesn’t even have an old passport as she has not been abroad before so I’m leaning towards a citizencard

Why not fly her in style from Heathrow to Glasgow or Edinburgh for the day with British Airways. It’ll be available for a few pounds less and you get free food and drink with them, too.
I would be flying from Newcastle and a return flight for two is £ 129.40 with BA to Heathrow

That’s expensive.

Otherwise, nice idea. I’m sure she’ll love it.

but she realy wants to have a go at it
Can we be sure your intentions are honourable 😀 😀

She is entitled to fly herself (without supervision as you need to be 18 to supervise) as being over 14 years of age but will need one of the photographic forms of ID. Citizencard is free and easy to get I would recomend it in your situation. (takes 6 weeks to get it)
If the adult is 18 or over there shouldnt be a problem but since your not over 18…

Well, I flew with easyJet last November to Stansted with me Nanna and Aunty, they had passports and I had a bus pass and a citizencard, and I was booked as an adult too. Even though I had a tyne and wear bus pass and a citizencard I was still allowed to get on.

Hmmmm best thing I would say is to phone Easyjet about it.
