But if the airline is chronically negligent in checking documents, it risks losing its license to operate commercial flights to the destination country. | |

They are allowed (and normally will) charge you for the return flight, although the catch is that they have no way to force the passenger to actually pay. More costly than the need to return the passenger, the airlines can be hit with substantial fines if they are found to be allowing passengers fly without the require documentation. | |
