"The credit card used for payment must be presented at time of check-in or when collecting the tickets. The airline reserves the right to deny boarding or collect a guarantee payment (in cash or from another credit card) if the card originally used for the purchase cannot be presented by the cardholder
at check-in or when collecting the tickets" and obviously my fiancee won't have my credit card to show at checkin. The only other option i see is to send the money over and get her to buy the ticket over there in Cebu, if anyone got any other suggestions they would be really welcome. Thanks
I read this thread and thought i would have to pay a lot of money by sending a large amount through western union or using banks. After finding out that using banks would not be a quick option, so i call the airline (Singapore airlines= cheapest airline and from what i read also a good reputation)
The airline tells me that i will save 100 pound by booking online, not a problem i reply, but can you tell me if it is ok for me to book the flight using my visa card in England for my girlfriend who is in the Philippines. The guy on the phone tells me it is fine and all i need to do is to goto Manchester airport in advance to the departure of Manila flight and have my visa card varified there at Manchester airport. But this worries my girlfriend, so what should i do
I am thinking if i get some comfirmation in writing or printout that my visa card has being varified there at Manchester airport and scan it and e-mail it and if she prints that out to takes with her for her check in and departure it should be ok....
Should i go ahead with the booking? anyone, whats your advice and thinking on this matter
