I think it is unlikely that airlines will accept bitcoin.
We all know that in the eyes of the general public, when it comes to bitcoin, people are reminded of hackers.
Although the people they know bitcoin do not think so.
So it is hard for airlines to accept bitcoin.
Anyway, I love bitcoin, lol.

Agree! We will see accepting Bitcoin in Airline companies not soon. The price of any cryptocoin is very unstable and unpredictable. This also complicates the adoption of crypto as a payment method.

i have read osmewhere about surf air, Surf Air will accept bitcoin and ethereum payments for its monthly membership and to charter global flights, Surf Air is a private jet service that launched its European service in June this year, expanding from its American base.

this is the current rate At the current exchange rate, prices for annual membership range from 7.3 bitcoin or 156.2784 ethereum ($85,132 / £63,435) for Unlimited Global, to 3.04 bitcoin or 65.08032 ethereum ($35,452 / £26,417) for Unlimited California or Texas.

i wonder if this change.

One of the major issues airlines have are with fraudulent ticket purchases. This costs them money in chargebacks and not to mention wastage of a seat on the plane. Accepting Bitcoin would be a great solution for airlines since there will be no chargebacks possible. Like with all merchants, I cannot see how they could view bitcoin as anything but a positive thing to reduce their chargeback risk.

To enforce such regulations I think the regulation of each country is necessary because not all countries legalize bitcoin for valid payment instruments.
Such regulations should be established to prevent illegal practices that exploit digital currencies, such as money laundering or terrorism financing, and safeguarding the sovereignty of a country.

I am not 100% sure but I think expedia.com accepts bitcoins as payment for airline tickets and hotel reservations.  I remember hearing something about it somewhere.  I don't think there are any actual airline company accepting bitcoins yet but that will surely change in the future.
