Hey Od,

Hmm, that's a bit of a pickle. Who are you flying with?

And where's your passport??

First warning is that it depends on your airline, so you'd want to check out their policies.

For the main ones flying between Ireland and the UK

Ryanair will only accept passports and driving licences and they must be in date

Aer Lingus will also accept ISIC cards, bus passes and work ID with your name and photo. Again all documentation must be in date.

Aer Arann allow the same as Aer Lingus with a few extras again, but they tend to be things like military ID that are unlikely to apply to you anyway.
