This is exactly why I said they should get the ETAs so airlines will not refuse boarding. This is a huge political sh*tshow and is already affecting a lot of travellers. They will not prosecute over this and will show leniency especially since it is a new requirement that has been poorly implemented.

PP above. I speak from experience. Our family of 4 has at times had to travel with 10-12 passports and we’ve f*cked up more than once. It’s the airlines that are most cautious and hence problematic.

I'd be terrified to fly with minor children who had a different type of passport than I did. But that's just me.

I did for years with my kids. And my husband has yet another kind.

Once there, British immigration could give you a hard time about it but they will not refuse entry to a British citizen so they will let you all in. But then you need to get their British passports sorted out after you return.

The problem is that they would have to lie on the ETA application about being a dual citizen, which could have long term legal implications. My advice would be to ignore your advice, and to ring the embassy.

The application does not ask if you are a dual citizen. It asks what is the nationality of the passport or travel document you will be using to travel. Saying "United States" would not be a lie to that question.

Yes it does ask. It asked me what passport I was using and if I had any other nationalities, and I had to select from a pull down menu. I had to get an ETA anyway because I'm not British.

You mustn't have read the application properly or maybe you skipped that question because you're not a dual citizen.
