what i cant understand is the fact that if this had been booked through the thai website,,why dont they tell you that if the card holder is a different name to the person travelling you wont be accepted?maybe they do?wonder if anyone has been caught out at check-in and the holidays off to a bad start,,or worse,,not at all!,,now that would be a b ummer at the airport,,,right?

They do tell you as you your booking the flight, I tried to book a flight for my TG from Bangkok to Phuket on the Thai site last year for xmas & new year to join me (I already had my ticket) but the site wouldnt accept it.

First or only named traveller has to match the credit card name.
