What do you mean weird return deal? Isn’t that a common practice when someone is found inadmissible? If nothing else is out of order, you’re given the chance to withdraw your request to enter the US.

- mikelward 7y agoI thought normally the airline paid in this case?
- mikelward 7y agoI misunderstood. It sounds like the airline must fly them back, but they can recover their costs from the passenger. https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/23622/who-pays-for-the-return-air-ticket-when-a-country-refuses-entry-by-air https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/23622/who-pays-fo...
- shkkmo 7y agoThe "weird deal" is this: > told they needed to return to China, that they needed to pay for their own airline ticket to do so or face a ban from re-entering the U.S. for five years It is not normal for a re-entry ban to made contingent on the traveler paying for the return ticket. Usually airlines are required by the government to pay for the return ticket and it is left up to the airlines to recover that cost from their passengers. My guess would be either that 1) government officials are trying to avoid any legal conflict with airlines about the grounds on which entry was denied. or 2) Airline lobby groups got this policy implemented to reduce their costs.
