| Jan 31, 2017 at 18:50 | comment | added | phoog | @FreeMan "leaving" means "at the exit check with the country's immigration service," and you would do this if you're traveling to a country where you'll enter using a passport other than the one you used to enter the country you're leaving. So if you enter Germany with the Canadian passport and fly to the US, you check in with the airline using the US passport (to show you're a US citizen) and you show the German border officer your Canadian passport (because that's where your entry stamp is). At the gate you should use the document you checked in with, as you thought. | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 18:42 | comment | added | FreeMan | Now I'm curious why you would use one passport to check your bags and a different one to get yourself on the plane. I'd be concerned that somewhere a computer would spit out a report saying the bag-related ID doesn't match that of anyone who boarded the flight, so the bags would be (figuratively) dropped back on the tarmac (i.e. not go on your journey with you). | |
