What do I need to be able to take my nephew on a UK domestic flight?
I'm planning on taking my 6 year old nephew on a domestic flight (Leeds to Cornwall) this summer.
I understand that if we were going abroad, I would need a letter of parental/guardian consent. Is this the same for domestic flights? Is there anything else that I need?
I have permission from both parents.

From FlyBE's requirements (much less strict for Domestic travel):
Children and domestic travel
Children under the age of 16 do not need to show ID on domestic routes. The adult they are travelling with can vouch for the infant's/child's identification, providing the relevant photo ID is shown (by the adult). On International routes a passport will be required.
If the child is traveling unaccompanied and aged between 12-16 years, they will be required to produce photographic ID.
So it seems like they're register that there was a child travelling with you, but would rely on you for the identification. No other document is required.
Again, this is for domestic only.
