It seems that Qatar airlines are quite strict on this, but other airlines such as KLM and Cathay don't seem to bother.
I've booked Marvie a flight with Qatar for next time she comes over, but booked via Greenbee, so not sure whether the same requirement will be in place, however she has the card we used to book anyway as I have an additional HSBC account which I use to transfer money to her. Will let you know!
Thanks, I didnt realize it was just qatar that was strict on this, i think i'll send the money to be on the safe side, but would be intersted to know how you and Marvie get on... good luckOriginally Posted by RickyR
... this is incorrect.
If u book via a third-party here in the UK (eg Opodo, Asda travel etc), it is
they that take "responsibility" for validating your credit card.
In this case, the credit card is "vouched" for by the agent in the UK, so no
requirement to present it when checking-in in Manila.
HOWEVER...... after booking via an agent / website in the UK, you will need
to contact the relevant airline (eg QATAR), and give them the passport No.
of your wife/fiance.... which they will cross check against her passport when
she does check-in.
(If memory serves me.... either the airline or the agent alsosend her an e-mail
asking for this info).
So, YES you can book a ticket by your Credit Card from here in the UK.

If my memory serves me right, we had examples of people refused checking-in and boarding......
Yes .... agreed it's happened,If my memory serves me right, we had examples of people refused checking-in and boarding......
but if u delve deeper, it's usually that the CFO wasn't in the passport
(so the airline picks up the tab to fly them back),
.. or the flight was booked DIRECT with the airline company.
I am merely stating the facts for third-party bookings ie via a travel agency,
flight broker, multi-web site.
