Topic: Overview of all airline & flight ticket sites that accept bitcoin (Read 1202 times)
It's really awesome when online services take cryptocurrencies as a payment method for purchasing airline tickets. Of course, we have a lot of online services which allow us to get the cheapest airline tickets, with cool discounts for any destination, like this service ( url: airbusinessclass.com ), but it would be really awesome if all of them would accept cryptocurrencies for those tickets.

This is a a positive move for those that want Bitcoin to evolve into a mainstream currency that can be used for the purchase of everyday goods and utilities, and it could lead to competitors also offering a Bitcoin payment option. The immediate knock-on effect could be that Expedia will start accepting Bitcoin for flight bookings, in addition to hotel bookings that you can already make with the crypto-currency. By becoming the first airline to accept Bitcoin, airBaltic have surely stolen a march on everybody else. However, they have missed a trick. The dreaded transaction fee. Yet, a processing and handling fee typically refers to processing the payment part of the booking, so where in this case there is practically none, it is not clear why this expense still applies, as surely the handling of the booking itself would already be accounted for in its salaries and expenses, as after all as that is the main purpose and reason for the businesses existence, it would seem pretty odd not to have this factored in to their costs already.

Is travelbybit reliable?
Can someone tell me if bought the tickets and everything went well?

With BTC going back up, these kinds of topics become relevant again. I wasn't willing to spend mine at low prices.
I just booked a flight with TravelbyBit and all went good.

They've been around for a long time and have been involved with other established projects and businesses like Brisbane airport. I haven't used them myself but I'd say they're a more solid bet than most places. There are also some positive reviews beyond the usual crypto echo chambers.

Added Travelbybit.com.
They are also the payment processor for Brisbane Airport (and other AUS) merchants that accept crypto (even LN.) And they got some investors like Binance, so not some random new company. They also don't use a third-party for payments, so that is always a plus.

Just WOW. 14 companies accepting Bitcoin for private jets while there are only a handful of them for retail flights? This is something I had not expected. But anyway the larger the adoption the better.
They're appealing to early adopters and ICO con artists and expecting them to be into the idea of throwing their free money around. They appeal to vanity. I guess there is enough of their ICO money still around, or rather our money, that hasn't yet been fully squandered.

Added m2jets.com, monarchairgroup.com, vegasexpressjet.com, priorityonejets.com, simplecharters.com, navair.com.au, flyzuum.com, avionejet.com and privatejethiredirect.com. All companies that offer private jet flights. Actually made a "Private jet" category considering there are already 14 of them.

I often use Cheapair, they have great sales
They also accept Litecoin, DASH and Bcash (1). During the recent Litecoin summit, they were also offering discounts on Litecoin payments (2).

Lol, I actually have considered putting them in the list. Since 2013 Virgin Galactic indeed accepts bitcoin: Buy your space flight with bitcoin (ticket is $250k worth.) The Winklevoss brothers already bought tickets in 2014.

Hey thanks for this comprehensive list. 
I reckon we would reach the Moon, with one of these airlines. Anyone want to find out if we can buy some tickets for the
next Mars mission with bitcoins? Who was working on this? {Virgin or Elon Musk?}

Meh, they are all the way down in the list at the "Specials" category, so I think it's okay. I also don't think debit cards are really comparable because they take a lot more time to order (and frequently have KYC/AML for higher limits etc), while thebigcoin.io seems to provide a quicker direct service.
But I obviously agree that I prefer direct providers. Note that sites like Destinia and Cheapair also just book (all or at least some) flights with their credit cards directly from the airline sites. They just have an automated system for it and charge a bit less than thebigcoin.io, so it's a bit more reasonable.
(PS, on the topic of debit cards... for those wondering.. currently this seems the best crypto debit card overview)

Just saw someone ordered Easyjet tickets by using a service called thebigcoin.io ("order anything online and pay with crypto" service.) So added it to the overview 
Seems somewhat convenient and you can probably buy all possible plane tickets with it, but a relatively high fee of 7-12%. They are on bitcointalk too.

Going on those criteria you may as well list crypto debit cards too. It's just a different way of buying anything with a cut just like them. I'd prefer no middle men in the list myself.

Does there really exist such thing? Bitcoin flights? I knew one of Japan airlines (if I am correct) was planning this but didn't know if it was ever released in real life. Thank you OP for sharing it...
Which website is 100 legit to buy tickets? I mean international flights with any line, for example take Turkish Airlines. Thebigcoin has very high fees, it even doesn't worth to use.
