Paying airline tickets with Bitcoin?

I doubt the United States of America will accept this.  We have a sore spot ever since 9-11 and they basically make us strip naked and show every thing we have owned since slchildhood to get on a plane.  Well it's not as bad as I make it sound but they are extremely strict to board flights and I doubt Bitcoin is acceptable because it's difficult to know where the funds originate.

I don't think there is any airlines that accept bitcoin as payments for the moment, but I do remember seeing someone posted on this forum that they are acting on behalf of travel agency which they can issue air tickets or hotels vouchers to customers for payment in bitcoin, but as bitcoin payment is irreversible once it is sent, it would be better to verify the seller as legit and trusted before sending the bitcoins to them.

I do not think there is a way to pay for airline tickets with bitcoin. As it is known, bitcoin is not famous yet worldwide. Even companies are still not recognizing bitcoin. I think the recognition of bitcoin will come within years. Therefore, many company will know about bitcoin and it will included as a payment method either for airline tickets or any other thing.

Only Japan is accepting airline tickets with bitcoin. So its obvious because they have legalized it. However, I don't know about any other airlines that accepting it. Maybe we can see it happen once bitcoin is globally adopted. It will be really nice to see this, hassle free. I just hope it will not be exploited by terrorist though.

Hello guys!

I just want to ask if there's an existing offer already that accepts bitcoins by purchasing airline tickets to a specific destination? I'm an adventure type of guy, just finished my vacation last Monday. I usually travel like 3 to 4 times a year locally by plane.

Any thoughts on this guys? Thanks in advance.

Yes. You can buy air tickets by bitcoin. Currently, this ticket purchase has been accepted in some countries and has its own website, as in Japan.

No wonder that Japan is the first airline that accepts bitcoin.  Maybe there would be some additional charge because of course the government would not allow that there would be no tax.  Terminal fee maybe paid with cash.  But atleast having some country that accepts bitcoin as airline fare would be a start for other countries to include bitcoin as a mode of payment for airfare.

Exactly! Japan has taken this initiative of selling airline tickets for bitcoins. Bitcoins have strongly attracted big companies and business. That day is not far away, when the whole world would be accepting bitcoins for trading, selling and buying, travelling etc. At present, except for Japanese airline, no one is accepting them though.

Seriously man why do you want to bitcoin as fiat just keep it like a investment.

I don't see any problem about bitcoin used in such things, it is a digital currency. As a currency online, it is inevitable that it may be used for this payment, there are news about bitcoin being used in reserving rooms on a hotel or paying tickets for an airplane.

In the future it will be used in many offline transactions where wifi or bluetooth are just the needed connections to make it happen. Whether it will be happening or not, we all know that the idea will be surging in their minds.

I think traveling with bitcoin is a btc fun for btc and for btc people like me. It's like managing btc coin and making it friendly to everyone. As far as I know, one can travel bitcoin in some countries like Japan, Arabia. That's good news for bitc.

That’s nice piece of advice, dude. It should be made sure that these services are offered by trust-able people and obtaining older customers’ reviews will also be really helpful. The usage of bitcoins by airlines is not common yet. But soon will be offered.
