Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Go ZipAir
  • I fly on one way tickets all the time, internationally. It's exceedingly rare to be asked, I haven't had it happen with ZipAir, and I've never been asked for it going to Japan (probably a dozen or so times on one way flights).
  • Yeah, you're fine, no one will ask you anything.

Cons

  • Doing a one-for-one comparison, it's not worth it. Once you add baggage, seats, meals, entertainment, you'll be paying the same or more as the United flight. But if you don't want any of those add-ons, it can be cheaper.
  • You run the risk of being denied boarding.
  • LAX-NRT roundtrip on Zipair is less than $500. Beware that Japan is hot and humid in August.
  • Zipair has a strict rule against changing anything to do with the name. So not sure how to go about this.
