Round trip air tickets needed for visas: workaround?
Being an indian citizen living in the US and hoping to fly my bike to argentina and travel across S.America, i am required to apply for visas beforehand.
Here is the rub, the officials here need round trip tickets as part of the paperwork. I obviously dont have set dates.. Short of forgery, any way buy fully refundable tickets online or have ones with flexible dates that i can adjust prior to trip?

As far as I know, most international airlines offer fully refundable tickets, with no or varying charges to change dates once booked. As just one example, American, Airline Reservations And Airline Tickets From American Airlines | AA.com, displays an "Economy Flexible" fare between Chicago->Buenos Aires, that is "refundable" with no or variable charge to change dates. Of course "fully refundable" is usually (much) more expensive than a non-refundable in either economy or business class. If it's confusing or uncertain to you on the websites, call and talk to a booking or airline agent. good luck

The key is to buy from the airline _directly_ and double check that they are indeed fully refundable. It will be an expensive ticket and refunds can take several weeks. Done it a few times.

Aha, that is a neat little trick. I looked on Kayak and such and they had a $175 penalty for any change.
Just being flexible with the dates is sufficient for me, i dont necessarily need refunds. Thanks a lot guys. I'll let you know what airline i will choose and the options. Quote:
