I've never needed my passport when flying within the UK. You do normally need some sort of ID though. I always took my passport just incase but never been asked for it.

Jersey is a British Crown Dependency, it's not part of the UK.

Wasn't that just for ID purposes? NI is part of the UK, but you do need a passport to enter the ROI.
 
30 seconds on the Jersey Tourism Office site

There are no immigration controls between the United Kingdom (UK) and Jersey and therefore there is no immigration requirement for you to carry your passport or identity card.

Travel to Jersey from the UK

Holders of a British or European passport / identity card.

There are no immigration controls between the United Kingdom (UK) and Jersey and therefore there is no immigration requirement for you to carry your passport or identity card.

However, due to increased security measures at British ports of entry, we would advise all members of the travelling public to carry a form of photographic ID. If you do not have such documents, it would be wise for you to carry a letter from the Home Office confirming your residential status in the UK.

Basically, you don't need a passport to go to Jersey, but you may need one to come back afterward :)
 
There is, as the Jersey tourist office says, no requirement for a passport, travel between the states of Jersey is within a common travel area.

BUT, in order to fly you need photo ID, so passport or Driving licence (obviously the one with a photo on it!) are the obvious choices.

Best to check with the airline.

A photo ID is required and the passport is one way to do this.

I developed a simple on/off button that affixes to my neck mate.

just sometimes she sees me pressing it to off and I get a cuff around the ear.
 
In response to the original post, yes I do. It's the only photo ID I have.

Funnily enough, a few years ago my MiL flew up to Edinburgh for a weekend. On the way up, she wasn't asked for photo ID, the fact that she had a ticket was enough but on the flight back, she was asked for some. She has never driven (thank the entire pantheon!!!) and hadn't taken her passport since Scotland IS part of the UK (note date, as of 20/02/2014, it still is... ;)). Luckily she had her bus pass on her though and that was enough to satisfy them that she was who she claimed to be!
