Pro tip: Always buy a round-trip ticket when you plan to flee fraud. It looks better in court and in newspapers, and nobody will force you to take the trip back.

You might be banned from flying that airline again if you don't get on the flight back without letting them know with a valid reason. Of course that's probably the least of your worries if you're fleeing your own country because of fraud.

Seriously? That's Orwellian.

People miss flights all the time. You have to get really unlucky for a one-off flight miss to result in a ban

I think that's more of an issue with 'hidden city ticketing'/deliberately missing connections, because it's cheaper than buying a ticket to the layover location.

You don't travel much, do you? Worst case, you loose the money spend on the ticket and you have to buy a new one. Unless, of course, you planned for a pretty long vacation anyway.
