Thanks again. Sorry if I gave the impression I was expecting money back. I at no time even thought about asking for a refund. I think we all know better than that, and I would not dream of trying.

My question as to visa was generic. Don't airlines like to see a return ticket from any country in which you don't have residency? I've been asked often, usually in the USA, to produce a residency visa to X country when traveling there and not having a return ticket.

Cheers.
