elephant45 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Can this place get any more ridiculous? I was unable to buy a ticket on BKK Airways with my BKK Bank debit card today only credit cards accepted, and they emailed me a code that I now have to go to 7-11 and buy the ticket with.

elephant45 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Pilotman, lets be reasonable I have over 10,000 accrued bonus flyer points on them. You always have a SA remark for any point you don't like, please do not respond to any of my posts anymore unless they are supportive or informative. If you are really are a professional pilot tell me the formula to figure out 8 degrees required for climbout on a departure, and tell it to us all now, not after you have researched it for a few hours.

elephant45 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Or lets have more fun, 8% requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephant45 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 On a SID at Aspen for example it requires an 8% climb capability. I am not trying to be angry or mean but if you purport to be "Pilotman" then get with it as I am a retired ATPL Commercial pilot.

Madgee Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Ummm…………. I booked and paid for an AirAsia flight with my BB debit card on Wednesday night at 7.30pm for a flight to Bangkok the following morning. The only option for payment is by card as all other options require a period of over 24 hours before departure. My debit card is visa verified so no problem and also I'm a BIG member.

4evermaat Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 With Bkk Airways, can you pay with online [Thai] banking? Either from desktop or mobile apps? If so, which banks do they support? I know AirAsia you could and it was the cheapest option to book an 8-person itinerary (only 70 baht fee using desktop booking). They wanted 590 or 790 for any counter service option (7-eleven, Tesco, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanmyintmaung Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 23 hours ago, elephant45 said: so how do you buy a ticket when out of the country????? Another option is to buy Bangkok Airways ticket through 3rd Party Sites. I normally use Traveloka for checking price and booking flights and I can pay using credit/debit cards.

Is it true that not every 7-11 do electronic payment services? Only certain big ones? I bought air ticket and try using tops outlet as payment but the tops express store nearby my place said I can only pay at regular tops supermarket.

Oh yawn, This and the following two posts. Stick it back in your pants. No one is impressed. And the post that you're getting your bloomers in a knot over was a perfectly logical reply. Don't use them. No anyone else's problem that you've got a few points with them -- which has nothing to do with them not accepting debit cards.
