As the wheels begin to turn on my Euro trip this spring I have a quick question on airline flights. I will be flying into london this much i know, question is can I get a ticket that does not have a specified date of return? An open ticket of sorts? All web pages ask for the departure and return dates. I am unsure of just how ong i'll be overseas...If i can land some work i'd like to turn it intoa whole summer trip.......My Frommers book highly states it is in my best interest to NOT get a one way flight.....Which if it comes down to it is what i'll have to do 'cuz i can't have a "mandatory" return date.....That would defeat the whole purpose of this trip for me. So if anyone knows of a way to acquire a ticket in which the date of return is not specified I thank you for your help. Despite some recent internal debate it looks like this rookie is actually going to go through with it!
