I believe they still check IDs at the gate, even for internal flights. (I am pretty sure they checked my ID the last time I did one) - It is not an passport check, just an ID check at the gate to match person to ticket (as the security in UK airport just check boarding passes, not IDs)
- isostatic 7y agoNot BA, although I haven't flown domestic for a few months. Airlines like Ryanair do check photo ID on domestic, but that's for revenue purposes (to stop people selling tickets on the black market)
- mugsie 7y agoAh, it is just Common Travel Area that needs ID, but not passport.
- isostatic 7y agoNope, you need a boarding card and that's it The Police do have far-reaching powers under the fascist "Schedule 7" of the terrorism act 2000 to demand ID of some sort in certain circumstances, but that's not unique to flying.
