I can’t think of any circumstance where it would be acceptable for a company to cancel a candidate’s return flight, stranding then in the airport.

The only other side of the story that would be ok is literally “OP’s whole story is made up” and the interview never happened. If the candidate misrepresented him/herself then shame on candidate AND shame on company. Otherwise, shame on company.

I dunno, it seems a lot safer to let them finish the trip and then sue to recover the full cost of airfare and hotel, rather than risk being sued just for a partial refund on a single leg of the flight.

> Getting a free trip by lying would be grounds to cancel any more of the free ride in my opinion.

Why? How? On what grounds?
