UK dual nationals can travel on expired passports with certain airlines – here’s a full list

• New, complex rules for dual nationals travelling to the UK have caused confusion and anxiety among British citizens holding passports from other countries.
• Dual British citizens can no longer use a foreign passport with an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) for UK visits, instead requiring a valid British or Irish passport, or a foreign passport with a 'certificate of entitlement'.
• The Home Office has introduced an 11th-hour concession, allowing airlines discretion to accept an expired British passport (issued since 1989) alongside a valid foreign passport, provided biographic details match.
• This concession is not guaranteed, as acceptance remains at the individual airline's discretion, with some carriers confirming acceptance while others are still clarifying their stance. The government states these changes are part of a move towards a 'streamlined, digital immigration system' aimed at enhancing speed and security at the UK border.
• The airlines that have confirmed that they will allow travel are: British Airways, easyJet, Lufthansa, United and Virgin Atlantic.
