Online check-in for Philippine Airlines and CC Payment Authorization?

[Tintin and Mike 127]

Is there any online check-ins for PAL, I've looked all over the site and I can't seem to find it.

Also, I'll use my card to buy Mike's ticket from MNL-LAX. Will the check-in counter asks for copies of front and back of the CC and Authorization Letter advising that I've authorized him to use my card? I'm reading different ones here, there are ones that says NO (just check-in 24 hrs ahead of time or that it was never an issue for it was paid already) and the others to make sure, YES.

I've always buy tickets for my sisters or mom (continental US only) even without me with them during the flights and they were never asked for it. Is this a normal process leaving MNL or another unnecessary steps that we don't need to do but stress out about it?

You guys have been great with responses so thanks in advance for all the help!

It depends on the airline if they ask to see the cc that was used online to make the purchase, however it tells when you are making the purchase you will need to show the cc at check-in, I can't remember which one that does it. As far as online check-in I have never been able to do that with an international flight as they have to check and make sure your travel docs are correct and stamp that on your boarding pass.

Leaving US they've never did. Also when we went to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur from MNL. I'm thinking maybe 'coz I was the passenger at the same time.

Oh ok that makes sense. I've never done online check-ins from home before, I seem to like to interact with the agent or I do the kiosk.

Ok so for PAL it's a YES on showing the clear copies of the front of the CC and ID of the card holder at the counter.

in other countries, PAL needs the details from the cc. if the passenger doesnt own the card, he/she can always bring a copy if it both front and back. I've travelled through PAL originating from other country and yes they do check. m just not sure about manila airport. you can always call them to verify

This was true for Delta. I called them and they say if it was required to show the credit card, it would have said so online when you paid for the ticket.
