Hi, I agree with Maru. My children also have dual citizenship. You must make sure that you enter and exit a country on the same passport. You should also make sure that for e.g. in our case the children enter Germany on their German passport (and exit) and in our case they must enter Australia (and exit) on their Australian passport. We use for the airline ticket the Australian passports and no one has ever cared. We show the Australian passports for check-in but after that the airline doesn't seem to mind which passport you show them. Check with the airline though when you book the ticket if you can though just to be sure.

Hi, my children have dual citizenship (Australian and Spanish). Their UAE visa is in the Australian passport. When we travel to Spain (or any other EU country) we use the Australian passport in AD or Dubai airport and the Spanish when entering the EU country. For the air tickets booking here I use the Australian passport as the UAE visa is in the Australian passport. We have been doing this for years and haven’t had any problem. You can also check with the travel agent or airline when making the booking. Hope it helps!

Technically when you travel you are only supposed to do so on 1 passport. I never understood that rule though, what's the point of having 2 passports then? Anyhow, it's never been an issue for us, if you know what I mean.

But then for coming back? It's fine one way, but it's the return that confuses me. Can you book half of a return flight on one passport then change to another at a sop over? Oh I see what you mean. No idea to be honest. But I'd say it shouldn't matter too much as you have a valid pp for both the UK and US, so just use the necessary passport at immigration at either end. Check with thye airline, they should be able to tell you.

Well I;d say that if you have a US PP and you're going to the US, then obviously use your US PP when booking the ticket - to avoid any visa issues.
