Default Europe to USA airfare consolidator for US resident

Are there any online air consolidators that will sell 1 way tickets
from Europe to USA for a US resident with a US address and credit
card......I have looked at most of the online consolidators and have
been unable to locate one that will do it...Thanks for any help.

My best luck has been to buy in Europe at one of their "bucket shops" or
one of their student travel agencies. Can't give you any names, but they
are usually clustered around university areas. billfrogg

=========

Although I'm told it's "illegal" to purchase a return ticket and not use
the second half, that's exactly what I did to get my daughter home from
school in Europe last year. She found it in the Netherlands at one of
the college-area consolidators another poster mentioned. A return
ticket was half the price of a one-way fare!

Once you're back, I don't see what anybody could do about it. What are
they going to do, kidnap you and stick you back on the plane for the
return flight to Europe?

Best regards,

Tom

It is absolutely not illegal and I've always done that.

Here is a way to get the phone numbers of UK consolidators - whom
you could phone and ask.

Successively follow the following links
www.teletext.co.uk
holidays
flights
tv text ads
print version

This will give you about seven pages with eight advertisements
on each. Some are duplicates, but all have phone numbers

If you have difficulty getting through to some of the numbers
plese post here again. I have also crossposted this to
alt.travel.uk.air.
