  • Would the airline on the Saudi–Pakistan leg not make a fuss that you’re checking in with a different passport from the one on the booking? Surely the point where the passport is scanned to match a ticket for check-in will fail if the passport being scanned is not the one registered in the booking? Commented Aug 23 at 10:19

    @JanusBahsJacquet no, as long as the name matches, the last passport scanned replaces the previous name. Airlines are used to people with multiple passports, or passports which are replaced between booking and boarding. For most airlines, passport info is not even mandatory at time of booking (and is not even required at all if the destination country does not require API). Commented Aug 23 at 11:05

    @localhost the passport at booking time is mostly irrelevant (and many airlines don’t actually require it, you can usually book even without providing any info), it’s just a default passport if you don’t provide one later. What is important is the passport you present at check-in and/or at the gate, which must always be the one you will be using at immigration at the destination. As detailed in the answer, you should use the UK passport for all your flights except the flight to Pakistan where you should use your Pakistani passport. Commented Aug 24 at 12:14
