Ab dem 25. Februar verlangen die meisten Fluggesellschaften, darunter Aer Lingus und Ryanair, dass irische Staatsbürger für Reisen zwischen Irland und dem Vereinigten Königreich einen gültigen irischen Reisepass oder eine gültige irische Reisepasskarte vorlegen.

I had no idea that wasnt already a requirement.
Have ryanair not always required a valid passport?
Obvious requirement
Common sense tbf
I’ve never been able to travel without it, but I’ve not used Aer Lingus in years. Regardless we have to have some way of making Brits get in a separate queue lol
Passport card is sometimes not worth the stress unless you’re going from Ireland to UK only. Even though you can legally use it going between Spain and Ireland for example, lots of the older people working at airports are somehow convinced that it’s not eligible, I was nearly denied on a flight once due to someone at the checkin desk telling me that my “ID” (passport card) wasn’t valid. Best off just always having the passport book
ok
It’s a different country so makes sense
Oh no, a tragedy, I will have to do the thing I’ve always done for my entire life. How will I adapt to this
Was this not always the case or is just something they had to put in place because of a weird legal loophole that was being exploited?
I’ve got me passport. I’m leaving it on the table in the hall so i don’t forget it in the morning. Actually I’m leaving it in front of the kettle. Or maybe next to my toothbrush.
WTF this wasn’t already the case??
My passport was stolen a few years ago when I was in London. The only way I had of getting home was booking a flight with Aer Lingus using my driver’s license because Ryanair would only accept a passport.
Not exactly that much of an issue as we need ID to book in at most hotels and we should always have some ID on us when travelling.
If you were an Irish citizen you could travel without a passport, but the best way to prove you were an Irish citizen was with a passport. Most people brought their passports, so this is no real change for most people.
Does it mean we also need to get the visa to travel if we live in Ireland?
Wasn’t it always the case
If you travel to British airports, they do not require you to show a passport as they have internal arrival gates which are utilised for Irish arrivals. This isn’t the case for Dublin, unfortunately. The airlines require it, the Irish State de facto requires it but there is no requirement under the Common Travel Area agreement.
Wonder will ferries start enforcing it next..
Anyone else wondering why it says Ireland and the harp?
Doesn’t appear to be an official govt communication
I travel regularly enough to London and didn’t know that
Can the CTA even be said to exist anymore. Maybe we should just join Schengen and have done with it.
What did we need before
Finally, it’s almost like they’re two different countries. Close the CTA now. Unite Ireland.
🤷🏼
What about the ferries?
Never knew you didn’t need one before
My daughter has an Irish passport, but used to have a UK one. I let it expire as Irish was my preference. Is that still going to be grand or am I now going to have to get her UK renewed as she’s supposed to travel into the UK on that?
