yea its an internet booking.
when you go to pay it says this...
"For this credit card payment, the credit card holder must be one of the guests traveling on the itinerary and the same credit card must be presented at check in. If the credit card holder or the credit card is not present at check in, Etihad Airways reserves the right to deny boarding to all guests booked with this credit card."
so i called and asked what to do. and they said.. no its fine. just send her the scan of the credit card and your i.d.
so i guess its fine. but im still worried.
