   This rule is long overdue!

   I wish this rule was in place when my departure flight was routed half way around the world due to a “clerical error” from an airline (the American airline forced the European airline to buy me a return ticket).

     @gaurav I bought a ticket through United Airlines to travel to Nigeria 🇳🇬 from the United States 🇺🇸. I had a layover in Germany 🇩🇪 so as part of the package, I was to fly with Lufthansa into Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬. No problem.

     Lufthansa messed up the spelling of my name on the return ticket portion (which obviously did not match up with my passport), & for security reasons deleted the return flight.

     United force Lufthansa to buy me a return flight ticket, but I had to fly through Turkey 🇹🇷.
