Would I use my English passport to go to Dubai (am stopping for few days),then arriving in Dubai, then leaving Dubai to aus

Then just use my Australian once I get to Australia?

Generally I

Use your Australian when leaving the UK, through Dubai, and entering Australia.

Use your Australian when leaving Australia.

Use you UK when entering the UK.

But sometimes I just offer both and let them work it out.

I am pretty sure that if you have booked a tickets to Australia from UK, regardless of the stopover, the airline has to ensure that you are eligible to enter Australia, so I would follow the advice of newjez.

Australia is the only country I know where you are required to exit and enter on your Australian passport.

The rest of the trip you are free to use whichever passport you want.

I'd go with what newjez said. Use the Aussie one in Dubai.

If your ticket is out if the UK to Oz turn they should not let you past the check in desk with the U.K. You need to show you have the right to enter Australia which is your final destination

We have just done Aus to Dubai and onto the UK, UK to Canary islands, Canaries back to UK, Uk to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Dubai ,then Dubai to Brisbane.. We used Aus passports due to UK ones expiring a few years ago and had no problems, questions or hold ups anywhere.

ETA ,, all the Canary Island flights was booked by relatives in the UK, everything else was booked from Aus
