Round trip ezed or one way?

Just wondering if anyone has ever had an issue flying internationally on one way ezed ticket? Has anyone been told they should book a round trip? We usually book them one at a time because often we do not know our return date and sometimes the return date is too far in the future to actually list. Once while flying through CDG an employee told us we should book round trip tickets to avoid problems. So we are wondering what the problems might be and if any one else runs into this traveling internationally?

Thanks!

No reason to book RT. Tkts are easy to refund and fairly fast, depending on the carrier. I have no clue why they would have advised that. RT just means 2 flt tkts and any changes of cities requires refund. I don't think there are any saving, but I never buy RT so maybe someone else can enlighten us all w/current reasons, if any.

Never a problem. Just booked BOG - FLL last month with no issues..

Thank you so much for both of your replies! :-)

You can make a one way listing for the return flight if necessary and change/refund as needed.

To avoid any refund problems with myIDtravel it is better to get the two segments separate unless there are no other alternatives with the choice of carrier. In general you can change the return date on the pnr. I never had any problems going with a OW ticket except believe or not one time in YYZ. I am a Us citizen and end up transiting there on the way home, the Canadian immigration agent asked me if I had a ticket to prove that I would leave the country, I did not have a print out of my pnr and was quite surprised by such a requirement.

Perhaps they meant to avoid problems at immigration at the destination country. By law visitors to a foreign country must have a return or onward ticket as proof of intention to leave the country afterwards. Sometimes they surprise you and ask for it. Just the beginning of this month I was transiting at BOS, international to international, CBP asked to see my connecting ticket. So I was about to show my boarding pass on my cell phone as I had checked in online before and got seat assignment immediately. She made a fuss about not switching on electronic devices so I had to talk my way out of it including showing my airline and airport ID badges

Maybe I'll book a return ezed just in case, if it's as easy to change the date as you say, it won't be a big deal. Thanks all!

But aren't you OVERSEAS already and just coming home? Absolutely no reason to buy RT ezed to come back to US.

Yes, so true! It's unlikely I'd need a "return" ticket when going back home to the States! :-)

I was asked one time in AMS to show my round trip itin. Other than that, never. I only book one-ways on ezed.

Yes. The immigration officer wanted to see it. Thankfully I had it booked on Travelnet and had the e-mail receipt. Since then, I have been to quite a few countries and nobody has asked.

May have some misconceptions about Security.
Tickets bought by the general public in cash for a one-way trip raise security alerts (profile) !
But airline employees are not the general public !
Turning on electronic devices maybe troublesome - arming and set off destructive devices ?
Some countries and locations are more sensitive about these matters with security being tighter.
Airlines and their passengers that don't comply may cause the airline to be fined and to return
the passenger back to the country of origin at a big expense to both.
But the difference between the traveling general public and the non-revenue employees is considerable in these situations.

I am very confused by your post. What is "Security" with capital S? Do you mean TSA here?
PEDs MAY be an issue in some instances; what are you referencing?
ANY pax, rev or non are equally subject to any country's laws and procedures. Please clarify your post.

Not the TSA that is in the good ole USA.

Security anyone in a foreign country wearing a uniform and armed to the teeth and with control of persons moving
across its borders.
It is their country - their rules - their laws - and Yes everyone is subject to them - diplomats excluded.
Whatever security information that is exchanged between our country's agencies and the foreign country is based
on Profile information and other unknown data - this may not have much of a bearing on non-rev travel;
but buying a one-way ticket for cash is the Prime trigger for revenue pax.
Non-revs with a ZED ticket could fall into this but buying ZED and other fares is done on plastic (credit/debit card).
So initially a non-rev could fit one of the profile items but upon further review be exempt and good to move about the country.
Over zealous officials may follow the fickle finger rule book and make travel and passage briefly uncomfortable until they
realize that non-revs are not the droids they were looking for.
Travel in Europe is pretty much a free zone - not much to worry about here.
Travel to the Mid-east and other countries of unrest pax are more apt to be checked leaving the USA and arrival on foreign soil.
This especially so with young men trying to go to Syria to join Isis.
I really don't think that there is Jihad movement of non-rev pax traveling on Buddy Passes !
