You have a British passport, not an 'EU' or 'European' one.

There is no such thing as an 'EU passport' even though governments of
EU member states do issue their national passports to a common format.

If you are a dual British/U.S. Citizen, and/or have information pertaining to this, I'd appreciate your advice:
What's the best way to travel between the two countries, regarding which passport you use?

I'm a dual British/US citizen (British by birth, US by
naturalization). When I depart the US I show my European passport to the
airline and on arrival in the EU, I show the same passport.

When departing Europe, if there is outgoing passport control, I use the
EU line and show my EU passport. I give the airline my US passport, and
I show it again when I arrive in the US.

All of the airlines I've flown have never seemed upset by the fact that
I have two passports. Most of them don't even ask for an I-94.

Well, actually, I have two red passports, one British and one Irish.
There is no such thing as an 'EU passport' even though governments of EU member states do issue their national passports to a common format.

And my Irish passport (one would assume the Irish are more pro-Europe
than Britain) is not even in the common format! It was hand produced and
non OCRable (hence why I love using it when going through
immigration. It pisses off the immigration officers :-).
