Airlines Checking Onward Tickets on Los Angeles → Tokyo
When flying one-way from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (HND / NRT), airline check-in agents query IATA Timatic to verify entry compliance for Japan. Because carriers face hefty fines and mandatory return-transport costs if a passenger is refused entry at HND / NRT, one-way travelers without a residence permit or long-term visa are required to present a confirmed outbound flight reservation with a verifiable 6-character PNR code.
