I guess it's possible. But I don't think they have done it before. Perhaps you can call them up and ask them for international wire transfer. Never hurts to ask, does it? ;)

Anyone have that e-mail address? I have a phone number for the AA site but they never seem to answer

Yes, I have. But I live in Korea and ticketed via sending them direct transfer from my bank in Korea. They are relatively quick in responding to your emails/calls. The only restriction is that they don't take credit card via phone... so you will need to be present at their office in Seoul to ticket with them. Otherwise, if you have a bank account in Korea, you can transfer the funds directly.

Thanks.
Do you have their details (Phone and email)?

So I guess if I want to pay by Credit card I would need to go out to ICN and pay in person?

I just got off the phone with them. They will not accept international wire transfers. :td:

Time to find that thread about Korean TAs or explore ticketing with AA CPT.

That's bizarre! If the money's in their bank account then it's in their bank account - why does it matter to them how it got there?

I notice, by the way, that HSBC Premier is available in Korea, so for people who are HSBC Premier in any other country it is, in principle, possible to set up a Korean bank account at no charge and transfer the money through that.

I found out the hard way that some banks (including mine :mad: ) charge the recipient for wire transfers

I complained but they said this is a standard thing, which I believe is pure unadulterated B.S.

so some merchants might be reluctant to take in funds this way. in my case it cost me US$12 for each wire transfer received

I have HSBC Premier and had my local account rep in Australia help to set up a bank account in Korea just to facilitate payment of a DONE4 that I'm about to embark on. If you have Premier, it's a pretty easy process.

She mumbled something about the funds taking too long to arrive at their bank account, usually longer than the duration a stored Price Quote in the PNR is valid for. In a way I can understand as the PQ might be different when re-fared. It wasn't a problem for their counterparts in MNL though.

just want to confirm are people referring to the AA GSA here?

Can they still accept a Foreign Credit card IN PERSON if you go into the city and pay?

As the EU rules has been changed, I can't use AA UK anymore to ticket the DONE3/4
