Booking Emirates Airline Ticket through Expedia

Hello,

I will be flying on Saturday, 29th May. I booked an Emirates Airline ticket through Expedia using my aunt's credit card.

Am I correct that I will not be asked to present the credit card used at the airport since it's booked with a travel agency? (I have the credit card clear copy and aunt's ID on hand) just in case.

If I book directly with Emirates website, it was mentioned that the credit card owner must be part of the travelling party.

Hi PatVen,
I have never heard of a credit card being produced at an airport.
Best to contact Emirates and get clarification.
You have a week for them to send you an email to clear it up.

Hi @PatVen
I think some airlines have introduced it as a security measure and in some countries the card holder has to be a traveller in the part and in other countries not, I wasnt sure so looked it up here is a link to help you

Thank you Aposhark. Okay, I will contact them tomorrow.

This is the reason I'm a bit worried booking directly at their website. Thus, I booked with Expedia.

I've checked this before thus it took time for me to decide. But I have read in some posts that it is best to book with Orbitz, Travelocity or Expedia.

If auntie not travelling with you, then i think you need a copy of the card and photo id of auntie and her saying she paying for you.

Look at it this way how would airlines enforce this as a lot of company business travellers have their tickets booked for them by using company credit cards.

Philippines was always a country were CC confirmation was required. When asawa flew to the UK on her own (booked with my CC) I had to physically present the card to them prior to asawas departure.This meant going the Etihad desk at MAN airport and showing it. They then copied it and also flagged her ticket as not having to present CC upon check-in. I also scanned the card and emailed it asawa along with a signed letter from myself confirming I was the CC holder.

FYI The flight was booked directly with Etihad

I already have a copy of her Credit Card and ID. And I'm planning to secure a letter from her .

Thank you for all the insights you've provided. I will bring a copy of her credit card and ID and a letter. I am planning of bringing the physical credit card and return it after checking in..

Thank you for your insights. Yes giving these information is crucial especially the security code at the back of the card.

Include your passport number in the letter too just as a safeguard.

Thank you. I will.

I emailed Expedia to clear my doubts and I was advised to contact Emirates Airlines.

I spoke to Emirates customer service representative earlier and I was informed that there is no need to present the credit card at the airport if the ticket is bought through a travel agency.

Good news

Patven, can i ask,when you went for your flight with emirates,did they ask you for any proof of credit card,as i am thinking of using them for my wife flight.
