Difficulty booking Air India Express flights online

iker

I'm in Washington and have been trying to book a round trip airfare from Jaipur to Dubai on Wednesday, July 9.

I enter in all my personal details, as well as credit card information and in the final stages (as a confirmation should be produced), an error message appears indicating that my credit card has not been accepted.

It's a US-based credit card. I tried calling Air India Express' telephone numbers in India, but also to no avail. No one answers.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jim

I don't know, except that many Indian airlines don't accept foreign credit cards for online booking. I suppose going through an (on- or offline) agent can solve this.

The problem gets regularly discussed on this site, so you can search around for it. If you scroll to the bottom of this page, you'll find a listing of "similar threads." Opening any of those will again feature a list of similar threads at bottom, and so on and so forth. It's an easy way to navigate the site.

Try also this sticky thread in the sub-forum you're in: Foreign credit card acceptance. (domestic flights)

thanks for your response.

yes, I've seen other threads, but they do nothing to definitively indicate why my credit card is not being accepted.
