Comment on How to fly from the US to the UK as a duel citizen?

My wife and children have UK/US dual nationality, so we've run into this. What we do is carry both sets of passports, exit and enter the UK with British passports and exit and enter the United States with US passports. In our experience, the UK authorities don't care as long as you're legal and don't give you grief, and the US authorities will usually be dicks to you for a bit but they do eventually let you through.
That said, we're white. The position might be quite different if you're not.

You have to leave the UK under your US passport to show that you have permission to enter the US.

Leave the uk on your uk one and enter the us on your us one.
As long as you’ve got a valid plane ticket and aren’t on the no fly list, the airport doesn’t care about whether or not you have permission to enter whichever country you’re going to. That’s your problem for you to deal with.

That doesn’t work. The airline absolutely does care. They will not let you board without proof you will be accepted by the US.

So officially leave the uk on the uk passport and then show your citizen papers or whatever to the airline staff if they ask to see them?
