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.

Its now possible!

With this: http://bitforum.info/t/bitnet-and-uatp-partnership-will-allow-users-to-use-bitcoin-for-travel-tickets/264?u=thebitboss

250 airlines? That is a pretty big number.

Anyone here already using bitcoin for flight tickets?

On my state , Indonesia , still not implement that yet.
But I'm waiting for it cause using bitcoin as the payment will speed up my transaction.

let alone for it, for bitcoin only in Indonesia is still illegal. and there are still many devices that do not support bitcoin in Indonesia

I think the very first airfare booking service to accept it a couple years ago was CheapAir:

Yes, it's a good site, but when I compared its prices to my local travel guide sites, it's far more expensive than many of the other services out there...

More sites and more ways to book just make it easier for Bitcoin acceptance, and brings it into the public eye more and more.

Last year was huge as far as travel websites go, with Expedia accepting Bitcoin for hotel reservations:

Could anyone please post a link to the webpage of the airline company where it is actually possible to pay with BTC. Thanks a lot.

I don't want to spoil the party, but Expedia does not accept BTC (no difference for flights or hotels, at least in Europe), nor does British Airways, Easyjet, Ryanair, KLM or any company I've traveled with recently.

Expedia does accept bitcoin. Here is a page on their site about it http://www.expedia.com/Checkout/BitcoinTermsAndConditions

A simple google willgive out lot of result. Here is one of them : http://www.cheapair.com/help/payment-and-billing/what-is-bitcoin/
But you will have to do your study if most of the companies are legit.

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.

YEah paying for hotels with BTC is cool..but I still dont think it wll be anonymous.. as Im sure the hotel will ask for some sort of ID of yours..b4 u check in.. So not anonymous..unless uve faked the ID's.! Tongue

I have sometimes paid in cash for hotel rooms. They usually wanted a scan of my passport if I wanted to pay in cash. If I had paid by credit card they might not have needed it, but there was no way to stay there without proving who you were. Bitcoin would probably be treated like a cash payment and need a passport scan.

At the moment, not from where I live but hope to see it become a reality someday. And that doesn't mean only on flight tickets but just about everything we can buy using bitcoin.
