Flying back to the U.S. using only the return flight??

[andy28 0]

Hey guys,

Here's my deal...I'm currently living in Brazil with my fiance and we've started to look for flights back to the U.S.

Even though I'm living here in Brazil, could I buy 2 round-trip tickets from the U.S. (by the Internet of course) and use only the return tickets to go back to the states?

(The taxes here in Brazil are very high and buying through the states would be much cheaper.)

Does anybody have any ideas???

thanks,

andy

i dont think so i remember hearing or reading something about that if you dont take the first flight of a one round trip then it is cancels the return, and being international then it is even more strick, but i really think that you should ask the airline, they will give you the lastest info.

Nah it won't work.

I wanted to use the last leg of a round-tripper that flew right into and out of his hometown - they didn't offer one-ways on it.

I posted this question on here last fall and all the members who work in the airline industry confirmed that if you don't use the outbound flight, the inbound is considered cancelled.

Why purchase round trip tickets, if neither one intends to return?

Often, a round trip ticket is much less expensive that a one-way. Check with your airline, some times there are restrictions on purchasing airline tickets for travel initiating from another country.

No, andy you can't. I looked into this last year & was told by the airline that if I wasn't on the outbound leg of the journey, they would consider the ticket voided.
