aussiexpat Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I've seen many posts saying to buy a throw away flight to satisfy the onward flight requirement. Myself, I was going to book a one-way fare and only buy a throw away if insisted on at the airport. Well, I just went to book the one-way fare on Singapore Airlines only to find the return leg was free. It also has free change of date and is valid for a year. (There were other flights with better connection for only $155 for the return leg to Australia, still cheaper than a throw away) Worth checking instead of buying a useless ticket Edited December 10, 2021 by aussiexpat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiexpat Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Wow, A$912 Sydney to Bangkok return in the middle of a pandemic and over Xmas/NYE (just reschedule return as required). Singapore Airlines pricing gives hope....or it's no-one is coming ???? Edit: is this also a way to only require 2 weeks covid insurance, and then extend return indefinitely as wanted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might this depend on the length of permission to stay? I do not have the answer as have not re entered when insurances needed. There has been much discussion about this and I am still unclear for those on multi entry non O or retirement OA etc am hoping a short insurance will satisfy the airline and a throw away, while I ca actually be stamped in for the period of my visa. Entry to the flight is the airlines rules Entry to LOS is at the discretion of Officer I think you are wiser to have a cheap outbound flight or a full price one that offers a 10-00% refund . There was a thread about "Rent a ticket" not sure I'd go that way as refusal of entry during Covid may have many hidden uninsurable costs. Good luck stay safe and let us know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
