Flying to Cambo today.... Totally stoked

Going with Qatar they queried me twice about not having a return ticket.

Apparently their guidelines say customers "should" have a return ticket. If it said "must" they would have refused me until I have one. -- I know it's simple to get one lol.

Just FYI post really

Hopefully it goes as smooth when I get to SR airport.

Return air tickets is there much difference in price, then a single one way flight? I have found myself paying a lot more for one way back to the UK.

In my experience, there's a big difference in price between buying two one way tickets and a return for long haul flights . A single ticket can be almost 3/4 the price of a return.

Same experience with Qatar airlines from London few years ago. However it do not have to be return ticket... just any ticket from Phnom Penh to another country (e.g i was prepared and photoshoped bus ticket to Vietnam and this was enough)

Yeah any exit ticket from the country is what they wanted.
I didn't get one, so hopefully they cool at Cambo airport.

If you generally don't know your return date then a one way is ok. But generally a return is cheaper than 2 x one way and although it might cost $50 or so to change the return date, plus fare difference if any, then this will still work out cheaper.

And if there is any chance of going off the rails in Cambodia, that return ticket might just save your life!

I can't remember ever being asked to show a return ticket at any airport anywhere in the world

Just flew to Vietnam one-way via Malaysia air from LHR, booked a coach just incase for $9 but no one asked me anything, even in Vietnam they just did the visa thing and let me on my way. Hope you got through ok, can't imagine it'll be an issue though as there are more important things on the go ATM. How long you going for?

Sure it will be fine. I'm waiting for a 4 hour connection at thai main airport.

Fuck I did something wrong there with a 4 hour connect!!

Haven't slept in 26 hours and there is still another 5/6 hours till I got my hotel. Wtf. Hahha

Onward journey isn't required for most Nationalities to obtain a VOA in Cambodia.

Many airlines insist on it, or a valid Visa, because they are liable for repatriating travellers who arrive on their airline and are denied entry.
