The agent on the phone was unable to confirm me if putting a fake billing address will cause any issues with ticket, as I found the workaround solution via paypal. The price quoted by agent is already adjusted to Euro, so price should be the same as I was paying in person.

Has any guys of you any experience with wrong billing details in your itinerary?
It depends on your credit card - American Express tends to request (at least for US-based customers) specific details down to the zip code.

Try it with an alternate country and see what happens. As long as payment clears, CO doesn't care.
