Looking for advice on travel from NYC to Vietnam as the first leg of an around the world tour. As such, NYC to NAM will be a one way ticket. Will that make waves with customs? Who has done this? What should I expect? Please advise.

Someone out there has had to have entered on a one way ticket. I am entering Vietnam on a one-way ticket to start my year of travel. Will there be any trouble entering on a one-way ticket?

Have you already bought a ticket?
I am betting that a one way ticket to Bangkok and then a one way ticket to Hanoi on Air Asia might be a hell of a lot cheaper (even with roundtrip taxi and lodging in Bangkok).

I have only entered Vietnam via bus, and they never give me a second look.
(OK, they did once, but that is because I am so handsome)

Not yet. I have found a cheap one way ticket from New York to Hanoi for $600. Flying to Bankok was not any cheaper. I just want to see if there will be any problems with entering on a one-way ticket with no onward plans.

$600 is a great price!

That is what I thought. I want to pull the trigger today. From your experience do you think I will have any trouble entering on a one-way?

My experience is lacking. I have only been to Vietnam twice, both times entering on the lovely bus from Phnom Penh. You need to ask smarter people that me, which would be, um, most everybody.

Well I will relay what happens on the September 22 because I purchased the onw-way ticket to Vietnam.
