credit card required
thinking of buying a ticket for my girlfriends brother on asiana from icn to thailand -- health issues so may not be more than a couple of days in advance
since it will be my credit card and him travelling -- will asiana need to see a original credit card or a screenshot or notheing to let him board?
does booking through the likes of expedia or booking.com avoid this problem?
any of them have no booking fee or a really low fee? prefer to use us or european based sites. thank you
ps cancellation or changes will not be an issue he will be flying on a non refundable fare

If you need to show the creditcard, I doubt a screenshot is sufficient.
The fare should be the same whether booked with OZ or with an OTA. But it is quite easy to test; make dummy bookings on Exp and OZ webpage to compare the fare.

You may find that city ticketing offices for the carrier have lower ticket prices than Expedia, but in that case, card presentation at time of ticketing is generally required at least for ticketing (and sometimes later even for check-in, but that is rare in mainland Eastern Asia).
