Question
My mother-in-law is going to a foreign country from the U.S. and returning with two relatives. They want to ride together on the same return flights. One way tickets cost more. Can I buy 3 round trip tickets, and use one on the departure leg and three on the return leg? Also, the relatives do not have last names (passports show one name also) and most web sites require Last Name to book. Trip is from SLC to CGK. Three round best price found is $3192 & one round + two one-way is $3833; dpt 9/20 return 10/4 and dates are very flexible. Please help!

Answer
Hello Sir, first and for most, all travelers must have last names in order to travel.  
You may NOT buy 3 round trip tickets and NOT travel the 1st leg.  
So if i were you, you should buy 2 round trip tickets for the relatives, and buy 1 ticket for the mother-in-law.  (i.e. the 1st leg must be TRAVELED in order for them to travel on the return).

Cheers.
