Can I fly with Qatar Airways on a one-way ticket?
So I am flying with qatar airways getting a one way ticket from the UK to india. The journey is from manchester to doha then doha to india. (Doha being a connecting flight and I would only stay there for an hour or 2. Going through security then my gate and waiting for my flight). And india being my destination.
I checked India's entry requirements and it stated passport and sufficient visa which I do have. I have an oci card(indian life long visa) which allows me to come and go as I please.
I checked Qatar's visa requirements and it said a visa is not needed if on transit if you have an onward ticket. Is this onward ticket a ticket from doha to india? Or is it a return flight? I will be staying with my family in india and i'm not sure if or when I want to come back so a return ticket wouldn't make sense in my situation.
Please someone advise me. If getting a return ticket is better and will avoid any hassle then please let me know.
Also does qatar airways not allow you to board the flight if you have a one way ticket and not return? As many people have said that many airlines don't allow you to board if you have a one way ticket.
