    You haven't put the date it expires?

    If it is after 4th July (even the 5th) then it is fine.

    I honestly wouldnt chance it, youre going to renew it soon anyway, just do it now instead.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Other than Ryanair you don't need a passport for a domestic flight. ID yes, but it doesn't have to be a passport.

    The passport just needs to be valid on the date of the flight if you do end up using it.

    The expiry date on my passport is just 'July 2010'? Can anyone please give me a concrete answer if its ok to travel? As its a mixed response above!

    If you want a definitve answer, best to ask those will decide 'yes' or 'no'.

    Ask the airline you are flying with.

    Why don't you just renew the thing, as suggested?

    P.s. your passport is a fake or forgery.
    All UK passports have a full expiry date. ;)

    Check your passport again. All UK passports have a day, month and year of expiry.

    Agree with poster above. If you want a definitive answer, contact the airline concerned and do not rely on the opinions of a few forum posters.

    The number before the 1st 'JUL' is the expiry date

    Renewals are getting turned around in less than 2 weeks.

    As long as you have not changed much you only need 2 pictures and fill in a few lines on the form takes 5 mins.
