Default One way flights

Hi

I have booked a single journey to NZ on the 18th of jan despite the fact I know its ok under the WHV option (i emailed immigration). I hvae been informed that some airlines force you to buy a return ticket at the check in point, despite the fact NZ immigration don't have a problem with it.

Has anyone heared of this happening?

I am flying with Cathay Pacific.

Show the check-in your visa if asked (you'd be unlucky to be asked, I think) and you should be sweet. After all, it's a two year visa, right? One cannot book a flight more than eleven months in advance. Does it say anywhere on your visa 'onward passage waived'? If not, see if NZIS can make sure that is on the visa.

Good luck.

Ask Cathy Pacific what their policy is.

You're sorted, no worries.

I used to work at Cathay Pacific, Heathrow. One guy tried to get to Nz on a one way ticket without any visa and had to buy a ticket out to Oz before they would let him fly. No visa - no travel on a one way ticket....We get hefty big fines from Immigration every time someone does this. If you have a visa then you will have no problems...Sue

HI Guys,
So am I right in thinking that if you go to NZ as a Visitor you have to get a return flight?

Single flights unfortunatley are not half the price as you would think.

Prices for return tickets in the height of summer are always stupid. We paid £485 for single tickets, with 3 day stop off in HK, so i quite happy with that.

Good luck with it.
