    i'm annoyed, just called Ryanair to check about our flights to go see Sally at the end of july, and erin needs to have a valid passport to fly... her passport expired this year... so that will be an extra expense i could have done without.... bloody frick!!

    i can understand an adult would need a passport or a photo licence... but an 8 year old should surely be able to board a flight based on the id of their parent.... or even a birth certificate...

    I'm just glad i made the call..... Big G can pay for it... i'm paying for everything else...

    i've got time i suppose...

    It is ridiculous to expect a child under 11 years old to have a passport - what purpose does it serve?

    I have to get a new one for Freya for next year for our Florida trip.

    I guess it helps stop 'estranged' parents taking kids off without permission etc?

    That is annoying! Can understand why they need photo ID but can't see why it needs to be in date to fly in the UK. Good thing you found out though!
