In my 10 years of travelling I've never been asked to show my bank card! And I've booked for plenty of pals to travel as well.
They've never had a problem!! 🙄

Liam Halpin no you’re a 🔔🔚 who doesn’t want to accept that as it hasn’t happened to you it cant happen. You think I just decided to make it up and lie about something that in reality can and has happened to people?
Liam ********
Lynnette Munoz great to hear, so happy that you made it across the border unscathed
Liam ********
Christer Bau no you dick, obviously not, but they rarely, if ever, check.

Liam Halpin 115 times on somebody else's card?
Myles *******
Lynnette Munoz my point exactly
Myles *******
Liam Halpin congrats to u
Lynnette *******
Liam Halpin I had to show proof the card holder authorised the use of their card. So you flew using someone's credit card and the airline didn't question it? The fact is, they can ask if your booking shows payment made by person who's not travelliing.
Liam ********
Myles Phago Ive flown abroad over 115 times and have never, ever been asked for proof of payment!! Guess you must just look suspicious
Myles *******
Liam Halpin until it happens to them!
Kev ********
Myles Phago I’ve never been asked you could always take a photo of the friend and the bankcard and something signed
Myles *******
@Kev *******
