Return ticket, please.
'Andata' — 'an-DA-ta'. Three syllables; stress on second. 'Ritorno' — 'ri-TOR-no'.
Say this instead of 'solo andata' (single only) when you plan to travel back on the same route. Works for trains, buses, and ferries.
'Andata e ritorno' literally means 'going and return'. It is the Italian equivalent of a return ticket. 'Solo andata' means single/one-way. These two phrases cover all basic ticket type questions.

Specifies a one-way ticket.
