international credit card for lowcost flights

robycos74 · Mar 30th, 2007, 16:03

Hi all

I was looking for some domestic flights (including bangalore-bellary with AirDeccan),

but at the present almost all low cost indian airlines are not accepting international credit cards.
Does any of you know when this issue is foreseen to be solved?

thanks

No idea - I don't think you can book any Indian airlines with an International credit card?? I tried too... What is the reason??

This has been discussed in many threads. Mainly: The prohibition is against online/phone use of foreign-issued credit cards; in person, you can use them.

As expected, exceptions have been reported. There are reports of Spicejet accepting such cards online. There are reports of Air Deccan not accepting them even in person. People have occasionally found a helpful travel agency willing to accept foreign cards.

Since most tourists only carry cards from their own countries, the situation is clearly an inconvenient mess for them. Abd by implication not too good for Indian tourism either, especially if it is allowed to continue.
