When booking the airline ticket does it have to be a one way or can it be a round trip? He wouldn't use the return flight though! But a one way ticket is like double in price! But I don't want customs giving him a hard time about it when he comes! Thank you for any info!

I believe it's fine.

I read in other topics that alot of people can get round trip tickets alot cheaper than one ways.

If it gets brought up, just explain it was cheaper.

I'm sure they'd accept it.

be sure you get a round trip from there to here not here to there. If they don't use the first half the second half is no good

customs won't care... they won't even ask...

Immigration won't care either

Well I myself got a one way ticket coz it's cheaper for me.... you can just get whichever that is cheaper. the USCIS do not require you to have just 1 way or a return ticket. it's up to you. they will not question you about it, thats what i've learnt from VJ

Exactly right. The airline will cancel the return journey if the outbound leg is not flown.

Doesn't matter. Buy what is cheapest. If you buy a round trip MAKE SURE the flight originates in France, you can throw out the return ticket.

my hubby arrives today on Air France. Paris to San Francisco. And we bought round trip because it was cheaper too.

If you do book a round trip ticket, check with the airline if they impose any penalties for no-shows and how soon you have to inform them in advance that your husband will be giving up his seat.

Yeah i really wouldn’t worry about it, immigration aren’t going to. At the end of the day your quite entitled to use a return ticket if for some reason you wanted to you'd just lose your visa.

But "Marriedtomrq" made a good point if you were to buy a return ticket i personally would inform the airline after landing that you wont be using the return flight or check before hand if they will charge you for not using it. This process is expensive enough without a little sting like that.

[Stephen + Elisha 92]

Are there any airlines that actually charge extra for no-shows? If you don't show up for the return leg, your reservations are cancelled and you'll likely lose the value of the return ticket—but if a one-way ticket cost more, then you haven't really lost anything. I'm not aware of any airlines charging again for not showing up.

I'm planning on doing the same thing for my fiance. How Delta charges 717 for round trip from Buenos Aires to ATL, and 1,670 for one-way is beyond my realm of understanding. As for fees or penalties, I've bought a handful of round trip tickets from different airlies and wasted the return ticket without notifiing anyone, and I havn't been penalized yet.

That's always been my experience as well.

Really?? I'm surprised airlines care...they're makin' their money, why would the cancel return flight if you don't board the outbound flight?? I can see for purposes of security, but what if we informed them ahead of time that they wouldn't be able to make the outbound flight??
