Not sure about exit date

[MrKFC]

I'll be coming on an METV in October, not sure exactly when I'll be returning to Montana ... it will be after the snow is gone ... so I want to buy a one way ticket. 

 

I understand they won't let me on the plane here unless I own a ticket to exit. 

 

Someone suggested buying one from Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur to show I'm leaving - about $50 - and throw it away -  then I can buy a return ticket later.

 

Any thoughts?

If you have a visa you will have no problem on a one way flight, it's only when you arrive without a visa that there can sometimes be problems.

 

In my experience the last time I looked there wasn't much difference between the price of a one way ticket and a return ticket, I guess it depends on the type of ticket you buy.

 

I would suggest you purchase a return ticket that can be changed for a small fee.

I'll have the visa, no problem there.

 

Thanks, I'll check into a ticket with that option, didn't know there was such a thing, good idea. 

 

I tried to change the last one I had, was just a few weeks before the flight and it was gonna be about the same as a one way ... around $600.

You do not need a forward ticket as you have a Visa.

Read the terms and conditions first.

For example with an economy booking, you'll pay an exaggerated amount to change your booking.

A premium economy booking, although costing more, may allow you to change bookings without any charge.

 

Do a little research with various airlines before booking.
