That is all true, but....I ran into a similar issue on delta because I purchased two rt LAX to FRG tickets and neither traveler was the cc holder. At check in Delta refused to let my 13 & 15 year old boys on the plane saying by rule the cc card holder must be traveling, it was a fraud prevention issue. It eventually got straightened out but only because I refused to back down. They did tell me that International Airline tickets are the number one fraudulent credit card purchases.
