Just checked my line entry for VS ticket bought online:

xx/08/2012 xx/08/2012 VIR ATLxxxxxx2671 VIRATL.COM HKHK HKD 9,3xx.00

For a ticketing transaction, it's processed locally
(Even tho VFC fees gets processed in the UK)

Shame on CX not to have local processing
(But then again easier to open and maintain an account in HK than the US)
