How strict are Easyjet about photo ID on check in ? A friend just texted me from a train between Aberdeen and Edinburgh having left her passport and driving licence at home she only has her BBC photo ID card on her for identification purposes.
She getting a flight to Bristol late afternoon, will she get on it ?

I didn’t need any ID to get onto Bmibaby last year because at the time, I was on my dad’s passport.

When I flew LBA-BFS-LBA last year, I managed to get on with Bus Pass with photo, birth certificate and letter from mum.
Glad to hear your friend got away ok Allen 🙂

why would a terrorist want to hyjack a Easyjet flight to say amsterdam, its stupid and a waste of time!

Why not? Terrorists hijacked internal US flights, which pre-9/11 might have been considered a stupid waste of time.
I flew EZY last year from STN-GLA and had no passport or driving licence (my driving licence was being updated from a paper version to a card version, and I had to send off my passport for ID purposes). I managed to get on by presenting my works’ pass (with photo) and 2 credit cards as proof of ID.

From FR website .
Photo ID
# DOCUMENTATION It is the passenger’s personal responsibility to ensure that they have valid documentation which meets the requirements of Ryanair, immigration and other governmental authorities at every destination. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of breach of this requirement shall be paid by or charged to you. In order to ensure compliance Ryanair recommends that you carry your valid passport (and visa if applicable) on all journeys.
# All passengers must present valid photo identification at check-in for all flights. The only acceptable forms of photo-ID on Ryanair flights are:
* A valid passport
* A valid Government issued National Identity Card issued by a European Economic Area (EEA) country. Only the following countries from the EEA issue National Identity Cards which are acceptable for carriage: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland.
* A valid driving licence with photo (in the case of UK domestic flights and UK-Republic of Ireland-UK routes only)
N.B. Children under 16 years (including infants) travelling with an adult are required to have photo-ID when travelling on flights between European Economic Area (EEA) countries. Acceptable photo-ID for children under 16 is either a valid passport or a valid National Identity Card issued by an EEA country.
Photo-ID for children under 16 years is not required in the following circumstances:
* Children travelling on UK domestic flights and UK-Republic of Ireland-UK routes.
* Children included on the passport of the parent with whom they are travelling.
* German children under 10 in possession of a valid German Government Kinderausweis travel document
# In accordance with Article 28(1) of the 1951 UN Convention, a valid UN Refugee Convention Travel Document issued by a Government in place of a valid passport is acceptable.
# Expired forms of photo-ID will not be accepted for any flight. Failure to present valid photo-ID matching the names on your reservation will result in your being refused check-in without refund.

Not sounding good, her only hope is persuading Easyjet that her BBC ID card is a “valid goverment ID card” which it is according to the police ?
Otherwise it’s hire car and drive to Bristol.

when I flew to cologne the other week they would not allow you to check in without any id, so I would say that without it you are going nowhere.
You definitely need a valid ID. They aren’t no flexibable.
