Yes of course buying or using our bitcoin to book flight is good because we don't need to convert our fiat money to bitcoin and i think there's some privalage if we use bitcoins to pay our booking maybe discount .

Absolutely, big incentives in fact, you can get large discounts just for paying with Bitcoin. Most items on Amazon get 5-33% discounts when you shop through purse.io. I've used them many times and saved a lot of money! I prefer Amazon and purse for most things online now.

Sure. It is one of the goals why we have crypto coins, right? With crypto coins, we can directly buy without the need for third parties. It must be a more effective, cheaper cost, and faster transaction. Fiat isn't a good payment tool for online shop, it needs to transfer between one bank to another bank. This makes the transaction more complicated.

If you already have crypto, and you want to book a flight or hotel with fiat, you first need to use an exchange to convert from crypto to fiat. Then you can spend the fiat. Doing this will require that you pay an exchange fee.
If you just book with crypto, then you can skip the exchange fee.
Therefore, yes, since you skip the exchange fee, it is overall cheaper.

It would be worth it if they would give us some cash back for using crypto rather than Fiat, But if they wouldn't then why would you even use it since most of us just want to gain profit rather than using it as a currency to pay for anything we see's it as an investment tool.

Unless there's an special discount for using crypto (or you have a big stash of crypto that you're willing to use to pay for stuff) then no, there's no point in paying those services with crypto. Why spend it now when you can hodl it and expect bigger gains in the long-term?

I used crypto to buy things in past but not anymore. Every crypto I buy now are intended to be traded to make a profit or hold till I get a good profit. I'd rather buy anything with fiat than to convert it into crypto and buy saving the conversion fees. I have in past lost a great value using crypto when it's prices were low.

I didn't heard any stores, shopes, hotels, restaurant or even an airport here in my country in which you can pay bitcoins or altcoins as a mode of payment but I guess if this scenario will happen, like what you have said it is more convenient and easy to use your bitcoins or even altcoins as a mode of payment because you dont have to waste every single time to convert it into fiat. I hope that this will be possible soon for me to be able to use my bitcoins without taking time to convert it into fiat and pay my bills and other financial related agendas.

Do I Get cheaper?
In my experience for travel and hotels you wind up being charged much, much more in many cases. The sites that do it often don't list the cheap airlines. When they do they stick a premium on top. Elsewhere things are usually the same price unless you mess with people trying to get rid of gift cards. Not many businesses will have the margins to offer discounts and there's not a great deal in it for them to do so.

Who says it's not worth it? the development of crypto is still in increasing adoption so it's still very worth it in my opinion. Even many services and travel that accept hotel reservations, aircraft and other payments with crypto. You can find those sites on Google, crypto is still in the stage of increasing adoption but surely after adoption is successful then you will find more crypto payments.

I know there are several online stores and services that offer discounts when you buy with bitcoins. I salute this incentive as it will only boost the adoption of cryptocurrencies. Also AFAIK you can get amazon gift cards with over 10% discounts with BTC from purse io.
If you're planning to make $10k worth of shopping on Amazon that would save you a good $1k - in my opinion that's well worth the time.

I never buys ticket flight, booking hotel.. in other case I felt comfortable with paying my bill, pay the services and bought some goods. Crypto helpful in my daily.. so if in case buying online with crypto is worthy.

I don't buy those services with crypto simply because I don't know if there's any travel service accepting crypto and my local service probably will offer better rates. If both conditions are met then I would happily spend my crypto. I used my crypto for other things though, mainly for buying digital goods that don't accept any of my local payment system like gift cards, subscription, etc.

I often use Bitcoin to buy digital services (hosting, domain, server, ...) and it is very convenient for me because i don't have to exchange my money, just use Bitcoin for everythings.

I haven't tried buying online using crypto as a mode of payment as in our country only few merchants accept Bitcoin so far. What I am sure is if a merchant is using BTC as payment most probably there would be promos you can avail if you use BTC. In that case, it is more favorable to you as you'll get discounts or probably cashback in using BTC as payment as compare to using fiat or cash payment.
