1-way / 2 way plane ticket
I need a one way ticket. However, this ticket is a $100 more expensive
than the round trip fare. The airline (Continental) representative tells me that if I buy the 2 way ticket and not use the 2nd portion of it, they may charge me money for this. Besides, now that she knows I want only a 1 way ticket, she can't sell me a round trip ticket (of course I can call again/order online). My question is - from your experience, will the airline actually charge me a penalty if I don't use the return ticket? It seems absurd, because the ticket is already paid for, why would they care if I use it or not??? |

x-no-archive:yes
You don't say where you're going, but if you're traveling between major destinations in the US or Canada, you should consider JetBlue (www.jetblue.com) or JetsGo (www.jetsgo.com). JetBlue has cheap one-way fares between most of the major cities in the US (New York, LA, etc). JetsGo is Canadian. The fares are about US$100 each way if you book ahead of time. Otherwise, follow the suggestions of the others who have posted and throw away the unused ticket. Good luck! "Hafaka" wrote in message om... I need a one way ticket.

Just make sure to get a non refundable ticket and manage to miss the
return flight. Hafaka wrote: I need a one way ticket. However, this ticket is a $100 more expensive than the round trip fare.
