pkfops Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 If you are not sure of the return date, you can buy a ticket withan "Open Return Date". Check the Cathy Pacific site. As far as Customs; I have no knowledge on the subject. Link to comment
cosmiclobster Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 If they have a valid visa, as far as I know, they should be able to buy a one way ticket.If it was the ticket agency that told you this, look into another ticket agency! Link to comment
castaway109 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 They "can't" refuse a legal ticket...one way or round trip as grounds for not letting them into the country. But, they will find other grounds if they are not sure that your in-laws will be returning home. An open-ended ticket is a good idea if you are not sure how long they will be staying. Link to comment
giddyup888 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 how do i buy a open return tickets? has anyone had problem before entering US with oneway ticket from China? my inlaws already got the visa to US, and i don't understand how one-way or roundtrip ticket would affect their entry at airport. ???Felix Link to comment
skibum Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I have been able to get an open ended ticket by just asking for it. A round trip should be a lot cheaper than 2 one ways. Link to comment

LiandLarry Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I don't know what cities or when the travel is needed. I looked up round trip Guangzhou to Los Angeles one way is about $600.Round trip was $975. You will need the return ticket anyway and it is cheaper to get round trip. http://www.flychina.com you know your specifics so please take a look. Larry Link to comment
