Sure, i’m just pointing out that I have to carry both of mine, assuming I want to get both out of and into the country in one holiday :-)

It might be a bit tricky if I don't carry both on a US or Canada trip -- as I need the Canadian one to get into the States or Canada without an ESTA or ETA, and the British one to get back into the UK via the passport machines.

For Euro trips, I only carry the UK one.

I normally don't mention that I'm carrying two, but in August when I was travelling with my SO, the lady at the British Airways check-in desk in San Jose asked what my residency status was in the UK and I told her I was British born. At that point, she asked to see my UK passport.

Thats odd... I have dual citizenship but my Swedish passport expired in 2009 and I havent bothered getting a new one as dont really need it (might feel different about that after Brexit though). So couldnt show if asked.

Post Brexit I’ll use my UK to enter Uk and my Irish to come home. Could be useful

I always carry both. Regardless of who carries what though the esta form clearly asks if you have dual citizenship and for the details of the other citizenship.

The Airlines are responsible for returning the passenger to the originating country if it turns out that they do not have the right to enter the country of destination. So they check usually.

Yes I always fill in the Esta that I have a Swedish citizenship, give the passport number and that it expired in 2009. I never bring the Swedish passport with me though.

I had this problem once with US Airways while still living in the UK. I have only a US Passport but was a permanent resident of the UK with an "indefinite leave to remain in the UK" stamp in my old passport. I had travelled that way dozens of times with no issues. The check in agent decided I needed a Visa number to enter into her system as I didn't have a return ticket back to the US. She could not accept that I didn't need or have a Visa and that there was no UK equivalent of a green card number to enter. Even when her boss told her it was fine after making a phone call she was still worried about getting fined for getting it wrong! It took over 20 minutes to get past her.

I became a British citizen last December. Before that I always traveled on my Dutch passport. When I renewed my Esta, I have to admit that I can’t remember seeing that question about dual nationality come up... but having said that, maybe it did, but because under Dutch law I automatically lost my Dutch citizenship, I probably felt that by saying I only have one nationality, this was a true answer... my husband is American you see and therefore I can’t be a Dual Dutch/ UK citizen...
