Question about buying airline tickets for someone else
Hello-
My wife (she's American) wants to buy a ticket (as a gift) for a friend of hers who is a British citizen. Her friend lives in the UK and she wants to purchase a ticket for him from the UK to the US (connecting through Lisbon) on TAP Air Portugal as they have good rates. One-way tickets would be purchased to/from Heathrow as that is where her friend lives, and on Air Canada for the return trip to Heathrow from a different city in the USA. She has her friend's personal details (name, passport #, etc.) for the ticket purchase. Is there any problem with doing this kind of purchase? The particular airlines aren't important, just wondering if there is something we should be thinking about before we buy this ticket- some obscure airline rule concerning international travel perhaps that I am missing.
Thanks!
