My passport has expired and I am about to surrender my driving license because I am rapidly losing sight of one eye. Consequently, with the loss of these two proofs of identity, I need some identification documentation that will give me access to UK internal flights. Suggestions from members who have the answer to this problem would be most welcome.
Domestic Flights Identification

What about a UK Citizen Card. I think they can be used for domestic flights.
Apparently you can still hold a driving licence with mono vision.
So you could keep your licence and not drive if not confident

How about an older persons bus pass if you’re over 66?
Not listed as one of the suggested alternatives but will check it out. Meantime, thanks for your input
Licence about to expire anyway and consultant has hinted that that I am no longer fit to hold a valid licence. Sadly, I’ve got to agree with him.
Cheers Mottie, I’m well over 66 have a bus pass, so will check this out via the BA chat line.
An expired passport can be used as ID on an internal flight up to 5 years after its expiry date.
Thanks for that Mottie! Thought I was all set until a colleague found the following:
“If your UK passport has already expired it will no longer be a valid form of identification”.

Thanks yet again Mottie. We usually fly 3 or 4 times a year using BA or EasyJet. Passport only expired 30 months ago, so will take that, my bus pass and my soon to expire (September), driving licence, when we make the next journey in October.
