it is required at the time you board your flight. if for whatever reason you do not have your passport by the time your plane leaves - you wave bye bye! best advice - dont buy tickets until you have your passport in hand. you can pay extra to have your application expedited and express mailed.

No, but without a passport you will not get off the plane, so make sure you do it well in advance of your flight. Also it is safer to get a picture at the facility rather than a drugstore, etc, since their are certain size requirements for the photo.

You can get the ticket w/o a passport but be sure to get your passport application in in plenty of time to have it before your trip. Otherwise, you've just wasted a lot of $$ on airfare.

it takes at least 6 weeks to get a passport (unless you're planning on paying the higher rush price) so I'd hurry and apply for one

Yes, it is. You can get one at your local post office but it does take quite a while so if you are planning to go anytime within the next few weeks you might have to try and have them expedite it.

Maybe not to purchase the ticket, but certainly to get on the airplane.

what is your citizenship?
if not UK/Eire/EU: you will need one to get into UK.
(you can buy ticket anytime! it's *your* job to make sure you have the correct entry documents, not the airline's or your travel agent's)
