my friend bought me airline ticket (etihad airways) from a travel agency (in the Philippines)using her credit card, i believe there are airline policies that needed to present the actual card or be accompanied by the card holder upon check in.

im just not sure if that policy only applies for online direct booking/purchasing?

Thanks for the info. I guess the "in office" purchase serves the identification purpose.

I agree with Mandi. It is applicable only for online purchases.

Confirm with the airline. There is a form your friend should fill in at the travel agent or local airline agent. You will need to travel with this form.
