There are actually three airlines currently flying that route: Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and Zest Air. Southeast Asian Air claims to fly it, but has diverted all aircraft for flights into Caticlan as they're the only airline still able to fly into Caticlan. All four airlines do let you use foreign credit cards on their website, though I've had some problems with my Citibank card. My Bank of America Visa debit card has worked, however. You need to be enrolled in the verified by Visa program, but you should be prompted to enroll the first time you have a transaction online that asks for it. If you have problems, call the airlines directly and they can process the payment over the phone (just watch out for Cebu Pacific's long hold times).

I've flown all four of the airlines and found them to be quite decent. Do be aware of the different terminals at Manila airport and the need to take sometimes long taxi rides between them. All foreign airlines operate out of Terminal 1. Philippines Airlines operates out of Terminal 2. Cebu Pacific and PAL Express operate out of Terminal 3. Zest and SEAir operate out of the old domestic terminal.
