Remember, it’s your responsibility to have the correct documents for everyone in your booking including any infants who are travelling. Please make sure that the name on your booking exactly matches the name on your ID. If you don’t have the right documents, you won’t be allowed to travel and you will be responsible for any costs incurred. Please note, expired IDs are not accepted on most of our routes. Please read the Travelling between Britain and Ireland page for exceptions.
