Dad furious after children barred from Jet2 Manchester flight to Jersey 'because they didn't have photo ID'

A furious dad claims his children were stopped from boarding a Manchester flight to the Channel Islands because they didn't have photo ID.

Shane Lloyd's teenage son and daughter, of Lowton, Wigan, were set to fly out for a week-long holiday with their dad in Jersey where he lives. However, he says his son Dylan, 13, and daughter Grace 14, travelling with their auntie, were left in tears when they were told at the departure gate they wouldn't be able to board the Manchester Jet2 flight as they didn't have their own photo ID.

UK passengers travelling to Jersey, in the Channel Islands, do not need a passport, but adults are asked to travel with some form of photo ID. The Jersey tourist board says kids under 16 are not required to show ID on domestic flights, and the adult they are travelling with can "vouch for the child's identity".
