Default UK Passport Validity in Transit

Hello All,
Returning back to UK via Singapore or UAE but have released that my UK passport is valid for only 1 month. (slight oversight). Will I be okay in transit (airside) as web search provides contrasting info.

Cheers.

Do you have a current Australian passport as well? Do you not have time to renew your UK passport?

But according to your earlier question about passports, you're a dual citizen.

If that's so, I would expect a couple of questions when trying to leave Australia on a UK passport that obviously won't have a valid visa within it.

Not sure the automatic gates will let you through..

I leave Australia on my Canadian passport when we go to North America and return on my Australian one with no issues. The OP may have a problem getting back to Aus if they only have a UK passport though.

Hi Guys,
Was just wondering if passport validity was a factor in transit for a couple of hours in either SIN or DXB.

Have you looked on the airlines' websites?

Gosh, I've been hauled over the coals for not leaving on my Aussie passport - which I had been advised to do by check in Canberra on one occasion even though I queried the validity of doing that. Very irritating!

It should not be as long as you are staying air-side

I've had the same at Brisbane. I did it as a pure accident ad gave them the Aussie one as soon as I realised the mistake but they stil gave me the third degree.
