Airlines are paranoid about having passengers declined entry to a country as they are penalised and have to take the passenger back to the departure airport. On one occasion the check-in operator pondered long and hard about whether I should be allowed to travel on a single ticket. I had a residents permit in my passport which allows unlimited exit and re-entry within its time valididty. Even so, China has no policy of requiring travellers have a ticket that will take them away.

I have checked ticket prices last times, because my lao po will need only one way ticket. Found out that two way ticket is only a little more expensive. It is obvious because often return seat is empty. Carlos
