Convenient way to pay for relatives in South Asia to visit UK and US.
Just found out that if you have an expedia.co.uk account or
expedia.com account (for US), you can purchase a ticket with your UK or US credit card respectively and pay for a flight ticket for anyone based in South Asia to visit UK or US from there. I also found similar arrangements in travelocity.co.uk and travelocity.com. I have not checked any of the European portals such as Expedia in Germany or France, but you can try if you are based there and have a credit card there (try from Canada as well). British Airways is doing away with Consolidator fares from South Asia and other parts of the world, and now have published fares that match closely what people generally pay through consolidators. So it is now easy to see good BA fares come up on expedia.co.uk for flights from let's say Dhaka to London or Dhaka-London-Chicago and back. You can now pay for a relative to come and visit you without having to send money home. Since BA is also doing away with paper tickets, expedia.co.uk will not send you a paper ticket for that flight. Instead an e-ticket will be issued to your relative. Either you or your relative will receive email notification. I should mention that this arrangement is most probably not limited to South Asia. This fascility is probably available for travellers from any part of the world to visit Europe and North America. Just check your area of interest. Happy flying Riaz |
