Can I go to another country without a return flight?

What is this? So while you can technically travel on a one-way ticket, they also need some kind of official return ticket confirmation showing that you are leaving the country eventually. They won't necessarily care where that ticket goes, just as long as it's out of their country.

Skipping for Return Flight or the Last Segment In theory, the airlines could recalculate the price, no matter which flight you skip. Yet, since there is nothing left for the airline to cancel, and you're not using the ticket anyway, they usually won't bother going after you.

If you are flying within the USA and have no checked baggage to a final destination, then skipping the final leg of a journey is usually fine. There's no penalty for cancelling (as the missed leg is the end of your trip), and you can just leave the flight with hand luggage without any worries.

Should I Buy a Return Air Ticket Before Applying for a Visa? No, buying a return air ticket is not recommended before applying for a visa. Because if your visa gets denied, you will lose your money. We recommend getting a flight itinerary, and once your visa is granted, you can purchase a real travel flight ticket.
