UK Passport Validity in Transit

Hello All,
Returning back to UK from Australia via Singapore or UAE but have released that my UK passport is valid for only 1 month. Will I be okay in transit (airside) as web search provides contrasting info. Would only be there for 1 o 2 hours depending on flight purchased.

Cheers.

"back to UK" implies a UK passport, but it's not certain. As with any international travel, always best to plug your exact details into TIMATIC as that is what your air carrier will use.

Yes Uk passport. Just want to know if I'll be okay in transit (all airside) on way back to UK with passport validilty of less than 6 months. Tried various sources but they all talk about Transit visas etc.

TIMATIC is the only source that matters.

However, the issue isn't the 1/2 hours transit when all goes well. It's when something goes badly wrong (missed connection, etc.) and you need to enter the country unexpectedly. (but don't have the correct documentation)
