Do I need a passport to fly from Glasgow to Dublin?

Do you need a passport to travel to Dublin from Glasgow?

• Answer:

  I don't (as a German, can use my national ID card) and you probably don't either if you are British or Irish citizen and you do not fly on Ryanair.. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/travellingtotheuk/Enteringtheuk/arrivingatukborder/travellingtocommontravelarea/ .. http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/moving_abroad/freedom_of_movement_within_the_eu/common_travel_area_between_ireland_and_the_uk.html .. http://www.ryanair.com/en/terms-and-conditions#regulations-traveldocumentation .. If you are an American however you will need a passport since non-EU/EEA nationals do not benefit from the Common Travel Area. ◘○◘○◘ Added: Hey Doc, I could even fly on Ryanair with my ID card! Guess why - national ID cards have a machine readable zone or a microchip, driving licences don't. ◘○◘○◘ @ LP: Your first comment is just great!
