Father banned from flight to Jersey because kids didn't have ID

 

A parent was barred from taking his children on a Jet2 flight to Jersey because they didn't have photo ID.

Not very long ago, children didn't need a passport of photo ID, because they travelled on their parents passport. This is just another way of extorting money from the gullible public. A child passport costs £49 if done online and £58.50, if you apply by form, and it's only valid for 5 years.

More than 2 million holidaymakers a year used to travel to specified European countries using a British Visitors Passport. It could be obtained at a local post office for small fee (£12). These were valid for one year and visits were not to exceed 3 months. They were introduced in March 1961 and abolished on 1 January 1996. An adult UK frequent traveller passport, now costs £95 and is valid for 10 years.

As we've now left the E.U., it might be more advantageous to apply for another passport from an E.U. country, if you qualify. British citizens who live in Northern Ireland, are entitled to a passport from the Irish Republic as they live on the island of Ireland. If you're English, and have a parent or grandparent born in Ireland, you can also apply for a passport from the Irish Republic which is an E.U. country.

The former Brexit Party leader and English Thatcherite nationalist, Nigel Farage, edged his bets when he admitted that two of his children, had both German and British citizen passports. They were entitled to German passports because their mother is German. Farage wants his children to have the best of both worlds.
