I have used cheapair.com for all of my flight purchases for years. I live internationally, buy international tickets all the time. No problems with cheapair paying with bitcoins.

I just bought a ticket for my girlfriend here in Thailand on kiwi.com because the only flights available on cheapair were $4k+ while the one I found on kiwi were $1500.

I actually bought the ticket a few weeks ago but when I went to print it out for her visa I saw that they never booked the flight sending her e-mails about verifying my payment.

I booked it again. I had to send them a copy of my passport, then a selfie. Then they e-mailed me with a phone number to call. I called the number and they verified more information, and now I have to wait for a third party service to get back to me to see if I'm ever so lucky to have the transaction go through.

I hate when I go from bitcoin back into the stone age of legacy finance. Everyone needs to just catch up already.
I don’t know what to say on your issue but I can say one thing for very sure that paying through bitcoin is always better than any other kind of payment method . Making payment through bitcoin, provides you the ease, fast and secure way of making payment and moreover your transaction are very much confidential as it does not involve any third seizure and provides user anonymity and moreover it does not take much time for transactions to take place so I will always prefer paying through bitcoin if my country allows me.
