If anyone would comment on this plz im getting my fiancee plane ticket frum philippines to u.s.a this weekend but im concerned what if they want to see the credit card that purchased the ticket has this been a problem for anyone?

I just brought my fiancee to the US from Manila. I went through a travel agent and had her fly Korean Air. There is a law that all airline tickets must be issued in the Philippines, but Korean Air will take an e-ticket and re-issue at their office in Makati for free. Just make sure this is done about 3 days prior to departure. You will spend a little more on 3rd party fees going through a travel agent, but it will be worth it. As for needing to see the credit card I used to purchase, all Korean Air was able to see in their system was that the ticket was purchased through a travel agent. The method of payment is between you and the agency.

Yeah. I know I brought my ladies over during one of the busiest travel periods. Still, I paid just a little over 1,000 for Amy. Serena's ticket and the travel agent fees was what brought the total to what it came to. However, I consider it a small price to pay and worth every penny to have them here to ring in the new year with me. :thumbs:

Have you tried local airlines to jump to another island first? Still on the way. It can bring it down substantially. My father uses that to fly his wife back from indonesia. There's also a travel agency I use at my company to fly employees to Asia called China Travel. They are in LA and might be able to find you options you might not be able to find on your own. Just a thought. And when a travel agent tickets the itinerary there is no issue with credit card at the airport.
