that's ok if you have specific plans ...but not if you want to be flexible and change itinerary which I often do . Often airlines will charge fees to change and you cannot change with budget airlines so just end up losing money . All I am asking for is to be told in advance if I'm going to require onward flight ...very annoying frustrating if you are a frequent traveller ....not such a big deal for the once or twice a year traveller

@Jim *******

there is no consistency ...I was asked for onward flight from Vietnam by Thai air....but not by Cebu ....sometimes im asked by vietjet other times not asked . Just all seems arbitrary . No point to book onward flight if you want to remain flexible with travel plans and know that you aren't going to have to present proof of flight ticket . Annoying to get to check out and they ask ...it needs to be either done by all airlines or not at all

@Gerard *************

that's what I gather ...some airlines ask others don't ...I guess I will go with those that don't have this requirement

@Gerard *************

its really frustrating as it makes flexibility and plan changes difficult ....I see many people are buying the cheap fake tickets that they will never use now ....

@Jim *******

some airlines ask others don't . .not straightforward as it's not an immigration requirement

@Jim *******

and if they are going to do this they should tell you in advance ....not leave it until you front up at check in ....very annoying frustrating and inconvenient

@Graham ********

yes this is now becoming a problem ...some airlines are now requesting proof of onward flights ...annoying when after waiting in queue at check in to be told you need an onward flight . Seems an unecessary requirement and is extremely inconvenient ...airlines need to tell you in advance if they are going to do this not leave it until you front up at the check in counter. I will take my business to the airlines that don't impose this requirement . It is an airline requirement not an immigration requirement .

If airlines are going to ask for onward flights they should tell you when the ticket has been booked ....not leave it to tell you at the check in counter after waiting an hour in line and only an hour before the flight leaves ...very stressful .

I've been coming to Thailand for many years and never been asked by immigration ...but a couple of times the airlines of asked ....seems pretty arbitrary to me ..

@Wayne ********

that sounds like a legit reason 👌
