Best of luck John. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

My Etihad flight (Manchester) only had a 3 hour stopover...good price and service too.

I just went to Thomas Cook on the high street.
You might be surprised at the minimal difference in price compared with all the online people you've never heard of and can't actually do business with face to face. :rolleyes:

Thanks everyone for your help and advice, the missus's tickets are booked is ther anything that i need to know before Maricris travals to the uk, i paied by debit card they say on the website they will want to see the original card, thats not going to be possable, so would it be ok to scan it along with my drivers license and bio-page of my passport, plust a few words explaining I book the flights in the uk.
Other than that i cant think of anything.
Many thanks
John

Hi John

Firstly huge congrats again.

Secondly, regarding this credit card authorisation thing. I don't know about other airlines, but I have done something similar with Etihad. It does say on their website, that if the card is not available, then a copy of both sides, with your signature authorising it's use will suffice. You could mail her this and she could get it printed out.

What however I would recommend doing, is phoning their customer services, with her booking reference, and explaining what you've done. They will then be able to tell you what you need to do. You may have to go to the airport, with her printout of her booking, and of course your card, and they can then authorise it over their systems - which is of course obviously linked worldwide to their central system. They might also have a different easier thing to do. This must have happened before, so there will be a way :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Surely a Debit Card purchase would be treated as the same as cash, since the money comes straight out of your bank account and there is no way you can cancel it. :Erm:

Credit card purchase is altogether different.

I second this, do everything possible to alert all parties in advance if the card cannot be produced at check-in, it wouldnt be the first time that the person has been stopped from departing, good luck.

It should be similar to the philippines -have booked lots of flights for relatives there and they require credit card -sojust scan and send by e-mail to the passenger ,only cebu pacific dont require this

[John_10]

Hi all...did what you said I contacted Ethiad here at Manchester Airport..and all i needed to do was scan the front and the back of the card then send to the missus..just pen over the security numbers.
Only 2 and a half weeks to go and the missus will be here.
Many thanks everyone
