not a s such as a British citizen. however you made need an acceptable proof of ID such as .......your passport to get through security.
Check with the airline and they will explain fully

Not for inland flights but you do need I.D and they advise you to bring your passport as I.D

R U a Brit or US citizen? Everyone needs to show ID of some kind....it doesn't need to be a passport....US citizens find easier time of it in showing passport as something easily recognizable by the clerks, vs. 50 states version of their license card.

This is from the information on ryanair's website:

All passengers must present valid photo identification at check-in for all flights.The only acceptable forms of photo-ID on Ryanair flights are:
A valid passport

In accordance with Article 28(1) of the 1951 UN Convention, a valid UN Refugee Convention Travel Document issued by a Government in place of a valid passport is acceptable.

No but they could ask for some form of photographic ID so your passport is best.

Used EasyJet on a internal flight thoughout the Uk. But because the plane was destined to then go to Europe a Passport was needed.

Not saying this is standard but i would call the airline you will be booking with before going anywhere if you dont have a passport.
If you have a passport take it. you will need some proof of ID no matter what though.

every time i take any flight i take my passport, just stops any possible problems
