Question Not a US-resident – Book tickets on hawaiianair.com?

Hi!

Maybe some of you have experiences with that.

The problem: I'm from Europe and I want to book a LAX-HNL-LAX trip on Hawaiian Airlines. Is this possible via their US-website? Can I enter a credit card billing address in Europe?

I would have to proceed through the whole booking process and enter all passenger data to see if it works

Thanks for your help!

-Tom

Someone here said that booking a ticket worked if you entered a "fictional" U.S. address. Having had the same issue in the past I book my HA tickets via www.travelocity.com or - as someone has sugested - via www.orbitz.com

Thanks a lot for the quick answer!

I just found the respective flights on "ebookers" for roughly the same price. Just about 15€ more per ticket. Seems to be the best way to do it! Don't think it would be a good idea to try the thing with the fictional address!

Can't book online, but there are contact #s & e-mail address with the phrase "All European Credit Cards Taken" or something to that effect.

I did manage to book online using a foreign credit card (cant remember which i used but either a UK or SIngapore card) and put my residence as Philippines and zip code as 0000 and it went through fine.

This was after trying both the US and Korea as residences which wouldnt work...
