When we did it, it was cheaper to buy a round trip and not use the other half.

I bought a one-way ticket from Bogota to Miami for the 17th of October. I paid about $20 less for one way than a round trip would have been. However, it is quite common for a round trip to be a little less than a one way. The airline I flew on the 17th was Avianca. 2 months ago, they seemed to be the cheapest - by far, for a one-way ticket ... at least to Miami from Bogota. Airlines could care less if you actually use the return part of a two way ticket, if you buy a round trip ticket.
I don't think you will run into any problems with purchasing a one-way for your fiancee'. If you do, post what happened. I will be doing the same thing (please God) in about 5 months. I had no hassle at all buying a one-way for myself, while I was in Colombia. I did it online too.

Has something changed? or, was I dreaming? or... I have been under the impression, that if it is your lady with a Fiance Visa, it was by law that she (and any dependent coming with her) had to have a round-trip ticket in her hand, as she boards the plane for the USA. Only by what I thought was my good memory, it was explained that it was a safe-guard, just in case things didn't work out, she would not have the reason that 'she could not afford the ticket to get back to Colombia'.

Is this inaccurate? Accurate or not, I guess it seems like a moot point, if you guys are saying that a one-way ticket is usually more expensive than the round-trip. But, I would also imagine then, that possibly, you can use that 'second half' of the return trip, to trade on some other flight. No? Your knowledge and opinions, please.

Why Not Colombia?..........Stay Tuned, for more.... utterly worthless, self-indulgent gobbets of nonsense.

Not accurate, Galecito. She can have a one way ticket. They know she's coming to get married and not going back any time soon.

And, like I said, if you shop around, manipulate the departure date a little, you MAY be able to get a cheaper one-way ticket. You won't save much, but $20, $40 bucks is money. I noticed Avianca has cheaper one-ways - though not much cheaper, in a lot of cases.

I found a one way ticket and paid using my credit card My fiancee found a cheaper ticket (one way) and her travel agent worked with me to pay it using my credit card - I didn't have to worry about sending money for the ticket! This was last year but I am sure one can find cheaper tickets even now - worth a try. Good Luck
