72 hours visa-i am travelling on my airline crew standby ticket but will only be staying

Question

Hi!I am BA Airline Crew and am travelling as a tourist with my partner who will be the BA pilot on both sectors to CTU from LHR and then back to LHR 72 hours later. I will not have a return ticket until I fly back from Chengdu as I will be on standby. Will this be a problem?My partner will be the pilot flying back so I will have no problem going back to London. Would it be safer to obtain a tourist L type?RegardsMel

Mel, confirmed air tickets are required for 72 hours free transit. What's more, departure area and final destination can't be the same country. So I am afraid that you can't make use of 72 hours free transit. However, you both may apply for C type. It requires guarantee letter from your airline company.
