Frequent flyers with British Airways, this one’s for you. Domestic BA flights in the UK will soon require all domestic passengers to provide photo ID. Previously, BA was one of very few airlines that didn’t require passengers to have photo ID in order to fly within UK borders.
The new policy comes into effect this Friday (September 1) and will mean that travellers will have to provide ID such as a passport, driving licence or EU national identity card.
According to the BA website: ‘You do not require a passport to travel within the UK, but you will need to carry one type of photographic ID when travelling with us. Examples include valid passport; valid driving licence, either provisional or full; valid EU national identity card; valid armed forces identity card; valid police warrant card or badge.’
‘Children under the age of 16 do not need to show identification when travelling on domestic flights. The adult they are travelling with must travel with photographic identification and be able to confirm their identity. Children aged 14 and 15 years who are flying alone will need to show identification when travelling on domestic flights.’
