[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The name on your ticket needs to match the name on your passport. You also need to use the same passport for (re)entering/exiting a country. So for the U.S./France round-trip, you’re using one nationality or the other. You can’t mix and match to take advantage of the shorter lines for nationals on both ends. [/quote]

Wrong, the OP is mostly correct in what they need to do:  use US passport to enter US, and EU passport to enter EU and for travel within EU. We have being doing this for decades with both citizenships.  Sometimes if you're going to a country where you would need a visa, and you're planning on using your non-US passport for entry, then you show both passports at check-in with the airline if they ask but many, many people travel like this and it's not a problem.

This is correct. I'm a fellow dual US-EU. But OP, the different last names could be an issue. The name on the ticket has to match the passport. I've found the EU doesn't care which passport I use to enter...but in the US, you must use your US passport to enter (and show your UD one on check in in the EU). [/quote]
