Philippines

I just got back in Jan. I am not hundred per cent sure it always go like this, but I had to buy a return ticket to get there. I couldn't purchase one way from United and was told it was required.

Leaf here, they asked for my ticket out of the country.

Yes, you currently need to have proof of a return flight.

You typically need to show it to the airline staff at your boarding gate before you leave--that stuff is almost always enforced before departure. Easier to not let you on the plane than to detain and deport you when you're already there.

I think the real question is what were you guys doing in Philippines ?

I've heard of people on here talk about a service called Fly Onward. Apparently it's legit, though I've never used it.

OP here

American check-in counter asked for a return flight ticket. They almost didn't let me get my boarding pass. I had to book a flight right there on my cell phone, then canceled it when I landed. Phils immigration didn't ask for it, they just stamped my passport and let me in. It was probably the quickest immigration process I've ever been through
