Does anyone know what happens if you book a Return flight and don't bother using the return?

I'm moving to America and its actually cheaper to buy a Return ticket than a Single.

 

Nothing happens.

Well other than they might mention it to immigration but thats not a problem if you are there legally.

 

Nothing at all done it before. But out of courtesty when your their let the airport know as it may delay the flight slightly as they hang on for you.

 

SELL IT!

 

Cheers!

I'm an American citizen so will be there legally.

 

I'd be amazed if the return half only is transferrable.

 

Check there isnt any dodgy terms and conditions with the offer in the very small print.

I know some local ferries do special return offers now and again usually on a sameday basis. Apparently if you dont complete the same day deal, they will then charge a full fare.
Although if you had a very good reason they might let it go.

Saying you missed the plane then just decided to stay on, probably isnt showing much intent to actually fulfil your end of the transaction.


Although on the other hand, they can cancel flights as they please leaving you in the shit, so fuck em lol.

 

just call them when your there and say you wont be on the flight due to unforseen circumstances. Easy and courteous

 

Even if you haven't checked in?

 

I seems to remember a news article where someone got a return ticket, but didnt use it - that got the security alerted and investigation started. So something to be aware of.

 

have done it before without issues, its nuts really?

was over Ł100 for a friday night flight I wanted, but Ł68 for the same friday flight and a return sunday, but they didn't return when I wanted so used another airline for that.

 

...is the right answer

 

done it loads of times never any problem

 

Why thankyou Dan.
Do I win a prize like a free ticket the rsoc national day this sunday lol.

If not im going back to watching blue peter lol

Is fast ford there this sunday?

 

Ha - We've not got any tickets yet!!!! All three of us will be there, (as long as the tickets turn up!)

 

as dan posted , ive done it a cpl times whilst travelling the usa,

every time i just ring the airline withing 4 hrs of the flight and just say i wont be on the flight due to injury ,


in one circumstance on a us internal flight ( washington to ohio ) when i rang them they seemed amazed id done it our of curtosey that they offerd to reschedule my return foc ,


shows that a bit of effort on your own part sometimes goes a long way

 

Who's the three of us. You jamie and neil? The three amigo's lol. I'm going so will keep an eye out just to say hello.
