Could anyone please post a link to the webpage of the airline company where it is actually possible to pay with BTC. Thanks a lot.
I don't want to spoil the party, but Expedia does not accept BTC (no difference for flights or hotels, at least in Europe), nor does British Airways, Easyjet, Ryanair, KLM or any company I've traveled with recently.
Expedia does accept bitcoin. Here is a page on their site about it http://www.expedia.com/Checkout/BitcoinTermsAndConditions |

There is also a Travelkings thread in the service section, who is selling tickets at upto 60% off, if its not urgent, then thaat might be worth a try as well
YEah travelkings sounds like a good deal..some positive response to it as well |

I dont think I have enough Bitcoin to buy a cheap ticket yet. Where can I find a list of the 250 airlines?

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.
Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!
Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

Yes, it's a good site, but when I compared its prices to my local travel guide sites, it's far more expensive than many of the other services out there... |

On my state , Indonesia , still not implement that yet. But I'm waiting for it cause using bitcoin as the payment will speed up my transaction. let alone for it, for bitcoin only in Indonesia is still illegal. and there are still many devices that do not support bitcoin in Indonesia |

All right, thanks a lot! This is getting useful. 3 companies to buy flight tickets with BTC: http://www.sky-tours.com/https://btctrip.com/https://www.cheapair.com/Back to Expedia, I'm afraid their service doesn't accept BTC in Europe. |
I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

A Plan is anytime more safer. Car accidentshappen due to human mistakes. Planes crash due to system and natural causes , which don't happen that often. |

Its now possible!
It's been possible for coming up to 2 years. I've successfully used BTCTrip twice. It's built up a decent reputation in this time. Even Satoshi's given a testimonial! |

This is great new, really!
A lot people traveling now to very far destinations and searching the cheapest solutions for their flight tickets.
This can help bitcoin to become more popular way of payment and mainstream for such digital product in high demand online.

Expedia allows Bitcoin payment for hotel bookings. Expect them to add flight bookings soon too, though I don't see much benefit in that. Hotel booking I can understand if one is looking for some anonymity.
you can pay hotel with cash if you want to stay anonymous you don't reach anonymity with BTC alone. hotels will ask for ID |
