Don't forget passport for Irish travel, reminds hotel

An Island hotel is warning travellers not to get caught out by new airline rules which mean a driving licence is no longer enough to travel here.

The Welbeck Hotel in Douglas says Aer Lingus is now only accepting passports for flying.

On the airline's website, it says since Wednesday, February 25, travellers have needed a passport or passport card for travel between the Republic of Ireland and the UK.

There does not appear to be any specific guidance for the Isle of Man published by Aer Lingus.
