Connecting through another country?

This page covers a direct flight to Guernsey.

Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.

Common Travel Area - live, work, and travel freely across the UK and Ireland

INFO

Your GB citizenship lets you travel freely across the Common Travel Area - Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Crown Dependencies of the Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey - with no visa, residence permit, or onward ticket; British and Irish citizens face no routine immigration control on CTA-internal routes (you may still be asked to prove identity and nationality). The reciprocal right to reside, work, and study without a permit applies between the UK and Ireland. The Crown Dependencies run their OWN housing and work controls - Jersey's Control of Housing and Work Law, the Isle of Man work-permit regime, and Guernsey's Population Management Law - so you can visit freely, but living or working there can require a permit or qualifying status even for a British or Irish citizen. The CTA pre-dates EU membership and is unaffected by Brexit. Carry your passport.

Carry proof of British/Irish citizenship - carriers may still ask

WARN

CTA free movement is your right, but airline check-in agents and ferry operators sometimes apply generic identity-document rules. Carry your passport (some CTA-internal air routes accept other photo ID, but a passport never fails) and, if pushed back, reference the Common Travel Area arrangement between the UK and Ireland.
