Pretty sure you just need a form of ID, has to have your picture on etc... So driving license will cover you i think mate... Check it out further as i could be wrong.

really does depend on the airport, when flying to london from blackpool (when they used to do it) they insisted on a passport at blackpool but on the way back they only asked for official i.d like a drivers lisence

Ha! Was watching Airline yesterday, and this man didn't have a passport. He got abroad on a Cosco's (wearhouse) card. Cos it had his photo on! Madness!!

On an Internal flight within the UK, you should have your Passport or some kind of Photographic ID on you, so your Driving Licence will be accepted as ID.

Easyjet's website says:

The airline requires all passengers to provide photographic ID at check-in on all flights including domestic services. Passengers who use the online check-in service will be required to provide photographic ID at the security gate and again at the boarding gate.

Please see Infants and Children section below for exceptions to ID requirements relating to children.

Please note: Passengers, other than British or Irish nationals, travelling between the UK and the Republic of Ireland, are required to produce a valid passport and any associated relevant travel documentation.

Acceptable forms of ID on flights operating through Basel-Mulhouse and Geneva (domestic and international):

Passengers travelling on flights departing from, or arriving into, Basel-Mulhouse and Geneva airports (including flights to/from France)are considered international passengers and can therefore only be accepted for travel with a valid passport or national identity card.

The documentary requirements for passengers on international flights are a valid passport or national identity card supported by any other relevant documentation such as visas where applicable.
