Don't use that Citi card unless you're absolutely sure the merchant and all payment intermediaries are USA-based.
Who exactly passes on the charge? Is it Citi or Amex? The reason I'm asking is, I have purchased another ticket for my wife on BA.com using my Amex Biz Gold (issued by Amex USA). Statement has not been printed yet. So, I can't say for sure whether there will be a charge or not. I don't think it will show up in online transactions either. Have to wait another 10 days to receive the monthly statement.

P.S. I'm very glad that I posted this topic here. Learnt a lot about charges for foreign transactions involving airlines. I will make sure to get a CC like Chase Sapphire preferred for foreign transactions. Still waiting for it to go 50K bonus points
