Visit to UK for Mums birthday
I havent been able to travel from the US back to the UK for a couple of years , missing birth of grand daughter and significant bday for mum.
i am now a US citizen (after many years) , so my simple question is can i travel back to the UK and enter on my British passport, then return to the US using my nice new American one ? i cant establish if the US allow it , or not. so does anyone do it (especially in Covid times) ? Thank you |

No. As described in JG's post, the OP must check in for the flight back to the US using the US passport. Entering the UK is the only place to use the UK passport.

Yes, but checking in for the flight is only one part of the departure process. There’s also a passport control when you enter the restricted departure area, immediately followed by security checks. I personally always use my British passport for those processes.

Upon arrival in the US, show your US passport. So essentially, everything is done with your US passport except for passing through the airport on arrival in the UK. |

Just hand over both passports and the person in the uniform will take the correct one. Don't overthink it!

The US passport indicates your country of birth as the UK so any UK passport officer would know that UK citizens normally don't renounce UK citizenship when becoming a US citizen.
