250 airlines? That is a pretty big number.

Anyone here already using bitcoin for flight tickets?

I will bookmark this thread to come back if I need a plane ticket and I can't pay easily otherwise.

Expedia allows Bitcoin payment for hotel bookings. Expect them to add flight bookings soon too, though I don't see much benefit in that. Hotel booking I can understand if one is looking for some anonymity.

Let's say you sell stuff in exchange for bitcoins - then you wouldn't have to exchange into fiat at all if you wish to buy flight tickets. Isn't that obvious?

Expedia does accept bitcoins, why not just use that ?

Well, it doesn't. At least not in the country where I'm staying. Not even for hotel bookings.
I wish I had some info about where you can pay with BTC on Expedia.

you can pay hotel with cash if you want to stay anonymous you don't reach anonymity with BTC alone. hotels will ask for ID

This is great new, really!
A lot people traveling now to very far destinations and searching the cheapest solutions for their flight tickets.
This can help bitcoin to become more popular way of payment and mainstream for such digital product in high demand online.

It's been possible for coming up to 2 years.

I've successfully used BTCTrip twice. It's built up a decent reputation in this time. Even Satoshi's given a testimonial!

I've never been on a plane in my life.

dont use that. its dangerous! we should ban it.

ahaha thi is nice!!!

if you think at the airplane, it is the most secure

consider how many fatal car accidents in the day there are ...
and how many fatal accidents in air per day, there are ...

the plane definitely wins !!!

Then take into account how many cars there are in the world to how many planes are flying in the world you catch my drift Wink

Will look into paying for flights further funny i have only just seen anything about it thanks for links an idea etc OP.

A Plan is anytime more safer. Car accidentshappen due to human mistakes. Planes crash due to system and natural causes , which don't happen that often.

All right, thanks a lot! This is getting useful.

3 companies to buy flight tickets with BTC:

http://www.sky-tours.com/
https://btctrip.com/
https://www.cheapair.com/

Back to Expedia, I'm afraid their service doesn't accept BTC in Europe.

Don't forget if you got enough BTC stashed away, you can even go to space!

Yep, the possibilities are endless with Bitcoin when you think about it. To infinity and beyond!

Man! that is awesome , is that for real?
That must be pretty expensive Sad

I think this is not so brand new. Bitcoin has been accepting tix since last year.
