On: Use a Fake Location for Cheap Airfare

[kondro]

Except that American Airlines doesn't allow you to use a non-US credit card on their US site and fails with a completely obtuse, out-of-context error that you only discover the reason for after calling their callcentre.

So what happens if you are a foreigner visiting the US and want to book a ticket from within the US with your foreign card?

[hueving → gambiting]

Don't fly on American Airlines. It's in the name. ;)

[ubernostrum → gambiting]

Book it from whatever site they redirect you to when you're outside the US, or book it through an alliance partner based in your part of the world.

[dagw → gambiting]

I suppose you could visit your 'local' American Airlines page and book via that.

[kondro → gambiting]

You can't book it through the aa.com site.
