buying the ticket for Pam to come here what does she need

[charlie&pam 1]

ok I am getting the ticket tomorrow though expedia....I know she will need the e ticket but I have read (I think) that she will need a copy of the credit card and my ID ...is that true????? Expedia and hawaiin air lines are the same exact price should I just call hawaiin and do it through them?

Not necessary to provide those items unless you want to for peace of mind. I did in my wife's case, but she was never asked for them, just the eticket and her ID of course.

No need.

Since you bought the ticket here she'll have to pay a P1620 PTA travel tax plus the P750 terminal fee.

She can pay the PTA tax at her local office to save her the hassel of doing so at the airport.

How about this.... I'm thinking of sending her $900 and having her go online to Cathay Pacific and buy her one way ticket for $845 from Manila to NYC where we meet and fly together to Baltimore...

The only benefits I see is that she is buing the ticket with her own debit/credit card and only has to show her ID at the airport.

Would such a scenario work for you?

Make sure she has the money to cover the tax and terminal fee and some extra. I made the mistake of forgetting the tax and trying to get to western union before your plane leaves can be an epic experience. If she has a phone with wifi you can get in touch with her in terminals that have wifi which can help the stress level.

lol....i just checked out cathay pacific and they wanted $2023.00 for the trip???? one way listen to this manila to hong kong ...then hong kong to JFK?????...then from JFK to Phoenix!!!!! 34 hours total!!!!!

[THX1138 0]

My situation is a little different since she's flying March 23rd thus lower rate and just from Hong Kong to NYC and that's it... No Phoenix leg... Don't know if they (Cathay) flies anywhere near there though...

Sounds like your way may be the only way since she has no debit/credit card of her own...

I'm trying to get my wife to fly alone cause me meeting her in Manila to fly out together sounds romantic and reassuring but it is also a $1600 or more waste of money.

Told her we could get some brand new furniture or clothes for her with that money.

Told her it shouldn't be that bad... Get in metal flying tube from Manila to Hong Kong and repeat one more time to NYC... In a plane full of Filipino bretheren...

Meet in NYC and fly together to Baltimore...

To avoid fraudulent transactions and to protect credit card owners, most airline that I know of, like PAL reserves the right to require that the credit card used in purchasing the ticket(s) online be presented at the ticket collection point, upon check-in or in cases of reissuance, rebooking or refund of a ticket. I used a travel agency to avoid the photocopies and hassles.

It shall be the responsibility of the credit card owner to ensure that the passenger(s) comply with the requirement. PAL reserves the right to deny boarding to passenger(s) or refuse to reissue, revalidate, rebook or refund a ticket for failure to comply with foregoing requirements.

charlie,

my hubby got me a ticket thru expedia also and emailed me the e-ticket and all the details. They never ask me any copy of my hubby's cc and it was a straight flight from Manila to LAX for $750 13 hours flight only then he picked me up in the airport and stayed in hotel No hassle at POE. God bless you and Pam.
