Lookit, Carl’s a helicopter pilot and doctor. He doesn’t do queues and any lad queuing with a booked seat is a mug.
As the plane flew away without him the seethe was sufficient to write to the Irish Times.

My missus is terrible for that lark. Worse again, can see the queue winding all the way from tarmac uo.the stairs to gate and dragging at me for us to join the non-moving queue.
Also, this shit about a lady called Jo, who was flying to Bristol at the same time and just happened to be there to take a photo of the incident - what a fucking load of cock. Carl was standing around talking to his friend Jo and that’s why he was late. He’s a doctor who thinks his shit doesn’t stink. I’m delighted that RyanAir took him down a peg and taught him a lesson about timekeeping.
They spend an hour standing in a queue for a guaranteed seat on a flight that takes half an hour.
Karl must have been a pretty shit pilot if he had to go into overdraft for 300 euro

Not a guarantee.
Don’t be Carl.
You’re one of those highly strung lads at the top of the queue desperate to get on to the plane and first up off the seat then when it lands.
You’re required to have official ID, that means passport or driver’s license, it’s always been the way. You friend was being silly and I think he made up the reasoning on overbooking to save his blushes.
And be five hours early.
Lookit, if you want to showboat by strolling over to a plane ten minutes after everybody else that’s fine. But don’t write to the Irish Times about it.
You must be some wreck after your holiday/weekend break.
He had Dublin Airport photo ID. Travel requirements were much less stringent back then. Especially to the UK.
when you fly weekly you always see the same dopes sitting smugly on the phone while the shrudies are ensuring they get the hand luggage on, on time, with documents out. In, sit down, relax.
You then see the same smug lads running up and down the aisle looking for somewhere to store their hand luggage realising they’ll have to go through the hell of the baggage carousel roulette 
I’d say I’m in better Nick than you after one

A quick google tells me photo ID for flights came in around 2005. So I’m guessing it was also around that time. Possibly before it.
2002 with Ryanair (passport only) as i had to get a passport pretty sharpish or i wasn’t going to the All Ireland
For a while ryanair would only accept a passport, even though driving license was also legally acceptable.
Because our free travel area with the UK there was no need for passports and photo ID was unknown, so I’m guessing you could just book a flight with a travel agent and away you went. I can just about remember the old ticket booklet before deregulation.
I’ll need older lads like @anon67715551 and @Fagan_ODowd to back me up here.
I understand it’s hard for ye young lads to understand how things worked pre-internet.
