    you dont actually need your passport for domestic flights and it still is valid within the UK


    email the company - and take a copy of the email reply with you

    i flew ryan air after speaking to them on the phone & confirming photographic id would be accepted, it didn't need to be a passport - then at the airport they refused my photographic driving licence

    also some companies insist the passport is valid for x weeks/month after your flight so you really need to speak to the company to be sure of their t&c's
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

    P.s. your passport is a fake or forgery.
    All UK passports have a full expiry date. ;)
    Nice sweeping statement and assumption all in one. Did the OP say it was a UK passport?

    * It is acceptable for children under 16 to travel on the valid passport of the parent with whom they are travelling, if they are included on that passport
    ** When a child is listed on the valid passport of the parent with whom they are travelling the accompanying adult’s travel document details must be duplicated in the child’s document details section during the online check-in process.

    For the purposes of ID only (as it is in THIS case) the passport just needs to be valid on the days you travel-It will NOT need to be valid for 6 months after. You are using it as ID not as a travel document.

    Also true when using a UK passport as a travel document in the EU/US.
