Anyone know about how much it would cost for a one-way flight from the UK to the US? Someone I know wanted to fly over to the US, but we were unsure what the cost would be. I tried looking up airline prices on websites, but my Google-fu is sleeping right now so it failed me. If anyone can help, that'd be great.

No idea of the price, but I do know that you'll most likely have trouble getting a one-way ticket to the USA, for some reason they've got this thing against people that think they won't be coming back... - Originally by: Miss Anthropy Real life friends are over-rated and real doll's are just sad.

What if they were flying over to be married? Not saying that's what the flight is for. Just speaking hypothetically of course.

Actually I was pretty much serious, someone was telling me that you can't get a visa to visit the USA unless you already have a 2-way ticket and have booked somewhere to stay. Obviously it will depend a lot on your circumstances and reason for travelling, and quite likely on your skin colour and the origin of your surname too.
Of course it could be a load of rubbish, but I really can't remember who it was that told me. - Originally by: Miss Anthropy Real life friends are over-rated and real doll's are just sad. Companion cube is by far the best choice.

far i am aware your Required to have a visa to vist the US anyhow! unless u got your passport before 05.
if u travel to the US on one way ticket and u have no visa they just pull you to one side and question the hell out of you! why you have one way ticket to the USA.
if they going to stay and has a one way ticket and no visa you going to have trouble. If you need Advice on visa etc ask me because i doing a Visa stuff to the USA!
So dont listen to other people Research your info on the US sites! because you may just end up on a return flight against your choice

Depending on the airline you may well not get on the plane with a one-way ticket, airlines get fined for allowing people on that don't have a forward destination (i.e. another country) once you get to certain countries.
I would be very surprised if the US was not one of those countries.
In effect it puts the immigration onus on travel companies. Plus the cost of a one-way ticket is designed to "make" you get a return and given you can use the return any time within a year or so, it's often best to get one.

Popular myth. Getting married to an American citizen does NOT guarantee citizenship on the spot or even a instant visa. Only way the one way ticket applies is if the person has a visa or green card already.

no but you become a a resident right away! and you have to file paper work to work in US which can take up to 3 months. Also to be American you have to be there as a resident for a few years! I cant remember the details tho but It's a long pain in the arse process!

One-way and return tickets were similar priced or cheaper last time I looked. If you apply for an extended visa and are rejected, and you still go anyway you'll defiantly need to have a return ticket to travel under the Visa-waiver program. You'll also need money for the entire duration of your trip, which they'll have information on if you applied for a visa.
Just check quickly on Branson AirwaysÖ Leaving on may 1st One way London -> NY 534 Return ú518 Return from ú268 to ú932(Weekend return flight)
Return flights is the best way to keep Immigration happy.

Best thing to do: Buy the ticket from an American airline from an American site. The reason being, you will get a cheaper price and your currency conversion of ú - $ will give a better bonus. Buying the ticket from a UK based airline or even an American airline in the UK will cost you double.

Someone from the UK (I dont know about the rest of europe) does not need a visa to visit the USA unless they intend to stay longer than 30 days. UK citizens get that grace at least. Also, it is easy to get a visa if you can prove that you have the money and ability to provide for yourself for the intended duration of your stay. Its much harder to get a work permit (ask Amy Whinehouse ) even if you are a famouse person.

That is the case for most things but not the case for airline tickets(It's a pretty competitive market) you may see 5-10% saving depending on what exchange rate is given to you.

Visa Waiver is up to 90 days.
Work permits are easy or hard to get depending on what company you work for. Defense contractor easy, Druggy pop star hard. 
If you do plan on getting married you'll still be looking around 6-8 months wait for your green card. Then something like 2 years for it to become permanent.

I'd recommend Virgin and for the sake of comfort, look into which flights are the Airbuses, much nicer/more bearable than the Jumbo's. As above, from ú268 to NY.

I'm not sure you can do this either, one of the restrictions placed after 9/11 was an inability for an airline to issue a ticket outside of the country you are travelling from. Security risk/locking you into higher price fares, take your pick.
Hence you can buy from American Airlines in the UK for instance but AA in the US cannot issue the ticket if the flight originates in the UK.

Edited by: MrTriggerHappy on 08/04/2008 07:42:37 As several have said, depends on airline etc, but then it also depends on a couple of other factors:
1. Which airport you depart from - Flying from Scotland is a costly endevour, and I went to texas in March via Gatwick.
2. Single tickets cost more than returns
3. Dont joke with the guy at customs.. seriously.. bad move.. nearly had me rejected 
Also yes, if they believe you have an intention to stay in the country and not return, they will grill you to hell at immigration. My girlfriend is currently doing the last year of her degree over there, and when I told the guy that, i started getting the "So you might not return home" question set.
Side note: Airline BA ftw, over continental...
Edit: side note on Visa's
UK citizens are allowed to travel to the US under the Visa waiver scheme, so as long as you are staying in the United States for 90 days or less your ok, other than that.. blag it  --------------------------------

Ive got two aunties that migrated from UK to America. The first aunt moved with her husband because he got offered a managerial job over there, but she still had trouble getting over. She was a fully qualified nurse in England and they were desperate for nurses at the time . My other aunt met a feller over there and married and moved over with him, she didn't have any problems at all even though she didn't have a job over there or anything, so it seems a bit hit and miss.

most problems is to do if you have a record or you made a mistake in paper work like filing the wrong file etc! If things done right then should'nt have a problem. I know I in a prosses of doing one :)

I'm no expert on American immigration but could it also have something to do with individual states? Do states have their own variation in terms of handling immigrants?

Some states here in the US can be a bit picky when it comes to immigration. Mostly those crazy Texans though. But anyways, I'm sure it won't be a problem getting a ticket for her to fly out here. We'll just have to see how it goes when the time comes.
Thanks for the replies everyone.

no! doesnt effect it per state! Says nothing about in my visa or website about depending on states. Its umm a federal level or what ever basicly one department does all. maybe they have silly laws for people from different country like benifits or something but as a USA does it!

It's mainly a culture thing sadly. You'll find that the closer you are the border states(Mexican border) the more people will not like immigrants. Generally though, more often than not if you tell someone you are European when you come to the US, they'll usually treat you a little better than they would others. Again, it's mainly a culture thing and depends on the area you are visiting.
