Default Baby ID on domestic travel

Hi

Anyone know if an infant flying domestically needs to have ID? I'm trying to avoid taking passports on our Melb-Sydney trip but obviously the little one (9 months) doesn't have a driving license to use like we do

Thanks

yeah i've never been asked for IDs on domestic flights. sometimes they dont even check for boarding pass until you actually board.

and you can hand-carry a big bottle of water, the liquid rules are not in force.

When I travel domestic (and haven't checked in from the phone) I just go to check in and give them my name and flight numer, never been asked for ID over here domestically

and sometimes you can be fashionably late with a pre-printed boarding pass and carryon luggage only.

When my flight's been held up and the late arrivals wander onto the plane with a stupid grin on their faces, I like to give them a little kick as they pass. Sometimes I get really lucky and they fall over.

Agree about the ID, I've never been asked to show it for domestic flights so I think a bub would be fine.

I have once been asked for Medicare card. This showed our daughters name and was all that was needed for the flight. This was about 4 years ago and have never been asked since x

I have only been asked for ID when my son was close to 2 years old and his travel was free.
