Well better to be safe than sorry ;) - just keep it handy incase of emergencies.

My sponsor booked us a return ticket when we arrived the first time in Saudi. They recommended that we don't use the return so one can always have a leg back. In fact they don't issue but return tickets. How long are you thinking of staying in Riyadh?

An open ended return ticket, how does that work :confused: is it like a voucher where you exchange it for a plane ticket

Hi There,

Its simply an open return ticket. Our travel agent said I could used it at anytime, to go back home or change it to another route its up to me. The idea is that when you complete your contract - the single return ticket will be the one to use. I think.

I think that you'll find that the return ticket has a maximum validity of 365 days, which corresponds to the IATA regulations. There is no such thing as an indefinite open-end ticket ;)

Hey guys,

Just found this forum and looks to be full of useful info - I just replied to a different thread about compounds and socialising and I'm also wondering HOW to register at the UK embassy. Ive heard that its only possible on a Thursday???

Anyone feel free to PM me here as i would be good to meet folks from across the board in Riyadh in the same boat!!
