hey guys,
i was just wondering if anyone knows of websites that accept international credit cards. My boss is trying to book a ticket from Canada to Seoul...orbitz and expedia.ca...don't accept her international credit card. If you have any info that would be great.
thanks

If it's a Visa or MC it should work. But I would just suggest buying the ticket through the airlines homepage. Korean Air for example can process multiple origins of credit.

Singapore Airlines also accepts credit cards.

Many - perhaps most - travel sites accept only the cards of their country.

Expedia.com and expedia.co.uk are prime examples.

As I've just discovered, unless you are the card holder most if not all travel agents will not accept credit cards. However, if you book your flight with Korean Air, Asiana, JAL, Singapore etc...you can have someone pay for it for you through there Seoul / Korean office. My ticket was paid for in this manner yesterday, I don�t get a 'hard copy' ticket it�s all electronic. I understand that travel agents are reluctant to accept third party credit cards due to problems with fraud. So book your ticket directly with an airline then get your school to get in touch with the particular carriers office in Korea. Good luck.
