coming to thailand in february for 6 months

[The Old Bull]

Years ago I came over on points then bought a return ticket from here. You could get a business class ticket for almost half the price. I think the airlines caught on and the price is the same where ever you buy it now.

He is referring to onward flight ticket for airline to issue boarding pass at departure.

I did get that. But he said  he never had to show his ticket to the airline. To travel on visa exrmpt with a o/way is careless. Whenever I checked in on o/way ticket airline asked to show the visa. Major ones tend to ask.

What you are stating is that some airlines require a visa or reentry permit or if flying visa exempt ask to see onward flight.

In these threads typical replies have been along lines of .....

I have never been asked for onward flight 

I have sometimes been asked for onward flight 

I often am asked for onward flight.

 

I have posted options in the thread.

Folk can make their own call.

 

In my experience....low cost airlines Jetstar Oz to Thailand visa exempt want onward flight.

Low cost airlines to nearby countries eg AirAsia Saigon to Bangkok require onward flight.

I came to Thailand last April with a 1 way ticket. No problem for me.

Well done.  You qualify for the "i never had a problem" camp.
