Do I need a passport to travel from Edinburgh to London via plane?

I am planning a trip to London from Edinburgh. The home office has my passport, as I am trying to obtain a tier 1 visa. Do I need a passport to travel on a plane from Edinburgh to London? I assumed I only needed a picture ID, but I recall in an episode of Airport a man being very angry because he needed a passport to fly between Scotland and England. I wasn't sure if this was because he just needed some form of photo ID or actually needed a passport.

Thanks for your help!Do I need a passport to travel from Edinburgh to London via plane?From traveler鈥檚 information on British Airways:



We do not require to see a passport or photo identification if you are travelling on purely UK domestic flights* (i.e. with no onwards international flights).

If you are travelling on an e-ticket, you will need to have the credit/debit card originally used to pay for the booking. This is for identification purposes only and you will not be charged again.



*If your credit card has expired since payment was made, you have a new credit card or you do not have your original credit card you used for payment with you, you will not be able to use the Self-Service kiosks or check-in desks. Please go to the ticket desk at the airport. The ticket desk will be able to check your booking and enable it for check in.



You will be required to present an acceptable form of ID, as per the list below, if you do not have your original form of payment credit card with you at the airport.



*If the credit card holder is not travelling and you have an e-ticket bought by someone else, you will need to obtain the email itinerary receipt from the credit card holder, as it is required at check-in. You will need this document AND an acceptable form of identification at the airport.



Acceptable forms of identification are:

鈥?A valid Driving Licence.
