The two-year-old Sam had been wheeling his case around the house for days looking forward to the trip. Photograph: Stewart TurkingtonA reader called Billy contacted us on behalf of his two-year-old grandson who was due to fly to London Stansted with Ryanair recently, before heading on to Legoland with his parents and brother.
“As both you and all of our passengers are well aware, all passengers travelling to the UK agree at the time of booking that they will provide a passport. This is clearly set out in our T&C’s on our website and has been in operation for over 20 years! This is not a new policy as wrongly claimed by this so-called reader.”
We should say in the airline’s defence that this requirement for a passport when travelling with the airline from Ireland to Britain and the other direction is definitely not new. The statement — despite its somewhat aggressive tone — is correct to say that we are well aware of that fact.We did have a follow up. We got back on to Ryanair and accepted that this has long been a Ryanair policy. The follow up question was why that is that case? The British and Irish governments do not mandate it.
Oh! My dear Lego land Ryanair’s airlines? You do not have a policy for children who dream of building a replica of air planes that pay tribute to a childhood dream.”
I flew with Ryanair twice. First time I thought it might be just a bad first experience. After 2nd time I said never again. You'd have to PAY ME to fly with them ever again, unless there's an emergency.
