Just been checked in with Emirates at Manchester UK, I have a 60 day SETV and my return trip is for 89 days.

No questions asked for visa, or ticket to exit Thailand on 60 days.

Depends totally on the airline. I flew Turkish from Dublin. Checked in online no questions asked at bag drop

Emirates at Heathrow have no check in staff. All done on machines. Slightly unnerving in case I did not do it right!!

Plenty of others are getting asked every day. Not sure what your point is.

Horses for courses. I was queried for no return ticket with a 60 day visa before.

You always probably will, without a return ticket.

with Emirates ? It tends to ne airline dependant if they ask for a flight out of thailand. Have a cheap flight out lined up ready so you can book at check in if required

Dependent on country of departure. Far more likely to be requested in US than in UK.

I telephoned the Emirates prior to my flight, and explained I had a 60 day SETV and 89 day return ticket.

They told me there would be no problem,
