I've never bought a one way ticket before. I'm not even sure they're offered and I know after 9/11, anyone buying a one way ticket is an immediate terrorist suspect.

maybe I should offer to buy a one way ticket with cash?
hahahahah

but seriously..

how did you guys approach this?

(obviously when I search sites for best fares, it's based on round trip)

my contract says I buy ticket and get re-imbursed.

Most of the online sites have an option for one-way. It will likely be close to the price of a round-trip ticket, certainly not half the price.

Just did a quick search on Travelocity:

NYC>ICN
RT$1,344
OW$947

I bought my ticket online no problems.

I did have my visa by the time I caught my flight.

I got a great deal on a one-way flight from Vayama. It's worth a look. So are Kayak and the other usual suspects (Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia, etc.).

I bought a 1 way to NY when I was in Amman, Jordan; paid cash for it.

both actions are well known to be reasons for red flags

guess who was pulled aside for 'in-depth' search ?


but the biggest surprise was landing in NY via Egyptian Air - virtually every passenger had to show a passport upon disembarking - immediately - and then and only then were we allowed to proceed into the terminal and onward to immigration.

the uniformed men who did the meet & greet had spanking new uniforms on of an agency I did not recognize - very SS in my mind tho.

was quite the event to arrive home to after being away for several years.

somewhat unrelated, but singapore airlines has some special for under $700 ROUND TRIP from san francisco to incheon. i think it's only for one more week.

I bought a one way to Korea once. I simply purchased a refundable ticket to Japan to show the airlines and immigration. No one ever asked me for it. It cost me 30,000 won to get it refunded, not bad insurance.

I flew one way from SF to Bangkok and then one way from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh and then from Ho Chi Minh to Beijing and from Beijing to Tokyo and then one way from Toyko to Manila and then one way from Manila to Phonm Phem and from there one way back to Bangkok and finally one way to Busan...... and I'm a Yank.
Is money your problem ???

Lesson Plan #1 � Travel Agency


Travel Agent: Can I help you?

Bogey666: I want to buy a one-way ticket.

Travel Agent: What is your destination?

Bogey666: I want to go to Korea.

Travel Agent: Do you want a roundtrip ticket?

Bogey666: No thanks a one-way ticket is fine.

Well i got a one way ticket from my little airport all the way to ICN. The only odd thing is that for the first time I was randomly chosen for a more in-depth check before i got on the first plane of my trip. It included patting me down and swabbing everything for bomb residue. I don�t know if it was just coincidence or luck of the draw.
