Jan ... as far as legal entry requirements are concerned, UK residents do not need to produce a passport for entry into Jersey. Some form of official ID should be carried, but not necessarily a passport.

However some airlines, especially budget/ticketless carriers, insist on a passport for identification or security purposes, so you may want to verify that with the airline before booking.

Jan ... http://www.flybmi.com are quite specific that a passport is not required for travel between Great Britain and the Channel Islands - please click here - but they do insist on some form of photo ID. Scroll to the bottom of that page to see what is acceptable.

Likewise, the http://www.bmibaby.com wing of the company also stipulates a photo ID requirement, but not necessarily a passport - please click here.

Unfortunately, I don't see a bus pass listed amongst the acceptable forms of photo ID.
