We are planning to buy one-way tickets from Chicago to Jigjiga, Ethiopia, and our final destination is Gabiley, Somaliland. We have valid passports and plan to obtain Ethiopian e-visas before traveling. Our plan is to arrive in Jigjiga and cross the Ethiopia–Somaliland border by land the same day. My question is: Will Ethiopian Airlines require us to show a return or onward airline ticket when checking in at Chicago, even though we will be leaving Ethiopia by land and not by air? Has anyone had experience traveling this route with a one-way ticket? I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. It is cheaper to fly this way. We are four.
