One-way Airline tickets

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

I was going to wait until at the airport, then use the onward travel if need be, but decided to just book Thai Air Asia to Bangkok through Expedia for $63. That onward travel was only good for 48 hours, unless you wanted to pay more for a 14-day confirmation, so I decided to pay the extra $ for a real ticket. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.
I will fly with Singapor air from Milan to PP on January with one way ticket without any visa and because airlines are becoming more tough I'll be buying a real ticket from PP to BKK by vietjet air or sky angkor for having no problem. I know I will not use maybe but risk all my trip with onwadticket that is only reservation code for 40$ less is not for me. Living in Cambodia now this saving is not much anymore,maybe was 10 years ago.

Well, just checked in here at Houston Intercontinental Airport, was never asked anything about a return/onward flight. See what happens when I leave out of Changi Airport.

never was, BUT airlines sometimes check for the finale arrival point if the passenger complies with visa regulations

Never said it was, just transiting through. Not required for Cambodia. But some airlines, from what I’ve read on here, will require it. Flying Singapore Airlines to Cambodia, they never asked me at IAH for an onward ticket like I thought they might.

Slightly off topic.

I arrived yesterday from Canada on EVA Air. I had a returned ticket so no hassle there. What they hassle me on was my visa for Cambodia.

The lady at check-in said I needed a valid visa for entry to Cambodia and was going to deny me to check-in. I told her that Cambodia will issue me visa on arrival. She had to check with her supervisor before she check me in.

This MAY also cause issue for those getting a VOA. Good thing for me the supervisor was on the ball. Just thought I will throw that out there for others to consider if they are applying for a VOA. I didn't have any information on me that said Cambodia has resumed the VOA program.

The problem with getting a visa online is they will only give you a tourist one, unless you are from Taiwan. Fine if your stay is going to be 30-60 days, but if you plan to stay longer you will need an ordinary visa (or be prepared to do a visa run).

Anyway, welcome to Cambodia.

Well I’m here. All the way through on Singapore Airlines, IAH-MAN-SIN-PNH, I was never asked for an onward/return ticket. So the $63 I spent was for insurance I guess, LOL.

Upon leaving Changi Airport to Phnom Penh we had to wear masks on that flight and while at PNH Airport. Not sure what that was all about but the airline provided the masks free of charge and the plane landed at 08:40 and I was in my taxi at 09:15 with an Ordinary Visa.
