Is it ok to use my parents Amex to pay for my flight (with their consent obviously!) this is with an OTA
I’d be more concerned about which OTA you’ve chosen.
It’s Expedia
Yes it’s not a problem but if price differential is not much then definitely buy direct with airline. You’ll thank us when ish goes south.
Yes should be fine, done it before. However OTAs aren’t a great idea unless the price difference is massive…
Please have a REALLY good reason for using an OTA!
It’s technically OK but you are setting yourself up for double trouble if anything goes wrong with your trip and you are neither the payer nor the booker.
Some airlines have in their T&Cs the requirement to show the payment card at check-in — eg Qatar. If your parents lent you their card for you to hold during the travel dates I assume this will be OK, similarly a photo copy front and back ought to be fine. I’m not sure how often these airlines actually ask for the card, but there’s stories online of people being unable to check-in, so the number isn’t zero.

This wouldn’t apply when booking with an ota because the ota pays the airline.
