[quote=Anonymous]We have multiple passports in our family (but we don't all have citizenship of the same countries).  No US ones though.

You probably have to leave/enter the US on your US passport so you may need to take both. When you do online check-in, enter the details of the passport you will use to enter the destination country. The airline needs that to check there are no entry requirements (eg checking expiry date of your passport, visa, etc).  Similarly, when you return, you should enter US passport details.

If you enter the EU on your EU passport then he may be able to go through the 'locals' line with you.  We used to do this when we went to my DH's home country and I had a different passport.  Similarly, he accompanied me into the 'locals' line when we went to my country.

If you go to a non-EU country, the visa/entry requirements may differ depending on which passport you use.  Depends on what bilateral agreements are in place.

Also, generally travelers entering Schengen zone countries must have at least 3 months (from the date of departing the zone) left until their passport expires.  Imagine this applies to your US passport but obviously wouldn't expect it to apply if you enter on your EU passport.

Does EU citizenship entitle you to cheaper or free medical care?  Might be worth having that passport if you need medical care.[/quote]
