**orlandodaze** · 02-11-2007, 02:57

Aer Lingus have resumed their flights to Orlando from October 27th. They will have no business class but you can pay extra and avail of the bigger seats but no champers or little perks . We look forward to using them in the not too distant future . I dont mind where I sit once I arrive safe and sound in Orlando [cheers][cheers][bowwave][cheers][bowwave]

I'm going on 22 November with them so will let you know. Great to at last be going direct.
Also have booked for August next year. Booked 2 one way flights and saved a lot !!! Has anyone had trouble with immigration because of travelling on one way flight ??

Err, having a return ticket is a condition of the visa waiver. http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/visa/niv/vwp.html

But if you have a single journey booked back again maybe that counts as a return ticket?

I'm amazed that this was cheaper! Usually airlines discourage this by their pricing policies. A quick check on ba.com for 16-30th August 2008 shows a return trip of 717 GBP, whereas the cheapest 2 x single comes to over 1100 GBP.

As Blott says, you might want to check with US Immigration first though...if they don't consider two singles as a return journey they might not let you in. But maybe they would view that as an 'onward ticket' and you'll be OK. Good luck anyway.

I know someone posted here that they had done this - just wondering if they had travelled yet. Often you would have internal flights separately so can't see it any different. Aer Lingus now prices separately and it was about €200 cheaper for 4 to book single flights as USD rate was better. Also less taxes this way. I do have a return flight booked just not under the same flight reference
Just found this too so should be OK
Plus, if entering the United States by air or sea is,

• Holding a return or onward ticket. If traveling on an electronic ticket, a copy of the itinerary must be carried for presentation to U.S. immigration at the port of entry.

Does anyone know if there are still any direct flights from Northern Ireland?

ALison[/quote]But it's not strictly a 'return' nor an 'onward' ticket, it's really a completely separate ticket for another flight and isn't even on the same itinerary as you'll get two separate ones if you have electronic tickets.

I just think you should check this out first as I'd hate for you to run into problems with Immigration.
