Default Can you buy UK to US tickets with US dollars while in the UK?

I've got the card, can you recommend some US sites that I
can use for UK originating tickets and access from the UK?


I like to use www.cheaptickets.com to compare fares. But I've
relied on www.expedia.com (not the UK version) to book travel
on non-U.S. airlines for flights originating outside the U.S. For
some reason, Expedia seems adept at finding code-shared flights among
/foreign/ airlines with significant price differentials.

I recently took a flight from Athens to Frankfurt on Lufthansa for
a price that was cheaper using the Aegean Air flight-code, which
I only found on Expedia. I also used Expedia for a flight from
Venice to Rome on AirOne at a discount to what its code-share
partners were charging.

If flying on a U.S. air carrier, I'd use that carrrier's website but
give them a U.S. physical address, regardless of what e-mail
address you use for e-ticket delivery. =R=
