hi all.
so i fly out of nz to london on wednesday next week, my dad shouted me a one way ticket there for my 21st.
i went to sta travel today to get my travel insurance, and they asked if i had a return ticket..i said no, i have left money at home with my mum to buy me a ticket once i have spent all my money.
they told me there is no way that the immigration ppl in londom will ever let me in without a return or onward ticket, obviously a return ticket (to nz) is more expensive, but they said if i got an onward ticket to say..france, then france are gonna want proof of an onward or return ticket...this kinda takes the spontinaity (sp?) out of my trip...so, basically, my question is...how do backpackers get away with not having tickets to and from each country before they enter?
pretty much, i have a bunch of NZD's and im gonna come home once its all gone, so i dont have a specific date of when im coming home..i dont want to have to pre-buy all my tickets..when i dont even know exactly where i am going...please help!
sorry for the long-winded message.
cheers
