Is this an LCC problem?
sorry - I should have clarified that! You are required to show a return or onwards ticket if you don't have citizenship/residency in the country you are flying to. I guess this is so that if you are refused immigration clearance on arrival and the airline has to fly you back they don't lose any money (they just take the value of your return ticket!)
