For the carrier, that's a very profitable sale since they can see the same seat to someone else. | |
| Feb 27, 2023 at 13:05 | comment | added | Mike Scott | @theonlygusti What exactly do you mean by “illegal”? It’s not illegal to buy or own a ticket to a country you can’t legally enter, it’s just a waste of money. | |

It's impossible for the vendor after all to ensure said documents exist, unless they themselves provide them as part of the contract with the customer. | |

| Feb 26, 2023 at 12:38 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | @theonlygusti, they all have it somewhere on their site, in the paperwork they get you to sign if you buy in a brick and mortar travel agency and likely in the small print on the ticket themselves if they still hand out paper tickets. | |
| Feb 26, 2023 at 12:29 | comment | added | user55648 | So if they don't say "check what visas you may need" then selling you the tickets may be illegal in some way? | |
