Paying For Flights Without A Credit/Debit Card.
I don't currently have a credit or debit card and want to book a couple of flights, is there any way of doing this does anyone know?
I thought maybe I could do this by paying cash into the airlines or travel agents bank, is this possible?
Thanks for any help.

You could create a PayPal account and pay for the flights with that - and participating locations will take cash to load into your PayPal account.
It's pretty unheard of not to have a bank card unless one is bankrupt, I assume that also means you don't have a bank account either.
Back in 1995 I holidayed in Barbados and met a young married couple who were staying at the same hotel.
I was surprised to find that neither held a credit card and asked how they managed to book things such as car hire/flights/hotel/holidays etc – the answer was that one of their mothers’ did that on their behalf.
Whilst I’m old school and pay for most items less than £100 in cash, life would be difficult without a credit card – I’m now forced to have a mobile phone in order to complete two method authentication on many transactions.
