Why Book One Way Flights
There are many reasons why travellers book one-way tickets instead of round-trip tickets:
Cheaper Flights
As a way to save money, many travellers purchase two separate one-way tickets instead of a roundtrip ticket as these can often be more affordable. Return flights are sometimes expensive depending on the airline you're flying with and the destinations you're flying to.
Greater Flexibility
With a one-way ticket, you can fly back home whenever you want to! You can be really flexible with a one-way ticket and spend as long as you wish wherever you're flying to, but when you're ready to return home or fly back to where you departed from, all you need to do is book a one-way ticket back! Spend days, weeks or even months in your vacation destination with a one-way flight!
Relocation
One-way tickets are ideal for those planning to relocate to another city/country for a long period of time. If you're moving abroad, you may be unsure when you'll want to return back e.g. to visit friends and family. Round-trip flights are restrictive, whereas single flights allow you the freedom to return when you need.

A round-trip flight, also referred as a return flight, is when you fly from one destination to another and return back to your original departure city at a later date (e.g., flying from Perth to Brisbane and flying back from Brisbane to Perth a week later).
Do I need a visa for one-way flights to Australia?
This all depends on where you're travelling from and how long you plan to stay in Australia. Travel visas are official documents that let a foreign traveller visit and stay in a particular country for a set amount of time. Foreign travellers from certain countries can stay in Australia for tourism or business without a travel visa for up to 90 days thanks to the Visa Waiver Program. Please read our guide on travel visas if you're planning on relocating to Australia.
