Title: Which altcoin would be the first to be accepted by airline companies?
Post by: cheezcarls on November 27, 2017, 01:41:02 AM
Hello everyone!

I hope you are doing well today. Hope that you're having an awesome weekend.

I have a question for you guys. We all know that most of us love to travel back and forth, right? For now, we are using the old and traditional FIAT currency to pay for our airline bookings. I believe there are some travel agencies or airlines who are accepting Bitcoin for paying airline tickets.

Now that the alternate cryptocurrencies are on the rise, which one of them would be the first to be accepted by an airline company?

Is it Ethereum? Electroneum? Dash? Or any other?

I would like to hear your thoughts about this. Cheers!

so far as I know there are no companies that accept altcoin as payment for airline fees. You should redeem it to real money in order to use. It's the same.
But please search, who knows there are travel that accept cryptocurrency as payment.

It will take a while until another currency will get traction and awareness and trust. It might be ETH if the business on the blockchain starts to get serious, through successful ICOs. But for now BTC has all the chances.

regarding how fast and secure and cheap the transactions are, they could adopt ripple, or just use their ledger , but who knows we could see a new ICO in few days ;)

This is a very curious question. As soon as ripple is closely connected with banks, I suppose exactly this cryptocurrency might be used first in airline companies.

I think avion coin might be accepted by airlines. The concept is about aviation of the coin development turn out to be a success.
