Airline ticket help

[gp0560]

Got a minute? I need a little help here, please. Some of you have arranged for airline tickets to be picked up by the escort. How exactly does that work? If it makes a difference, it will be OK to use government names for both guys. Does he pick up a physical ticket? Go to the ticket counter for seat assignment? Etc. The more detail the better.

 

Thanks for helping me get my guy here.

all flights I arrange are e-tickets. you dont actually get a ticket. you make the reservation for whoever you want under their legal name that matches their id, and thats it, they find the "reservation" at the check in counter. you can send them a copy of the itinerary of course.

That is what I do, I email them a copy of the itinerary and then they can add their Frequent Flyer Number if they have one. This will help them sort out an issue, as in there is a typo in the name, which is what happened to me..

E tickets are the quickest and usually best way of "using" a reservation. In addition to a picture/government ID they also require the DOB when making the reservation.

Plan ahead and ask the escort for information that will be requested. I've had to delay booking flights for a couple of days because I forgot to ask for the DOB. While it wasn't a problem that time, such a delay could result in the flight being sold out when going back to book.

All good advice here....if you are still unsure, I would pm Steven Draker. This very thing was discussed not long ago, and Steven knew the correct process. He said that clients frequently purchase tickets for him to travel and he simply presents his ID at the point of departure.

no need to use a travel agency, i make many reservations on expedia etc all year long for many people that work for me and for some guys i like to see. never had a problem making the reservations or the person using them. I have a guy leaving spokane at 3 today for phoenix and he is leaving phoenix on monday to meet me in orlando. all done on expedia. I did forget to mention the date of birth thing but it is required and easy enough to ask for.

What no one has said and Anton only alluded to was is the escort willing to provide to you, the client, his real name and DOB? Anton side steps that issue by using the travel agency as a go between. The agency knows his name and can arrange the ticket when the client provides the funds to do so. Anonymity is preserved for both the client and escort. I don't know if that was part and parcel of your situation or not but that is one answer if it is.

 

If I am bringing in someone for the week-end it isn't going to happen without some modicum of trust. In other words the escort shall provide the information to me or the deal is off. I have never had that problem.

if the escort isnt going to give up his name & DOB he should buy his own ticket and get reimbursed upon meeting. I would guess that any escort that is not willing to give up his personal information is probably scamming.

[Epigonos]

So much depends on whether or not one flies in escorts one does NOT already know. I NEVER to that. I have always spent time with escorts with whom I travel. Thus a degree of trust has been established and there has never been a problem with the escort providing me with all necessary information to buy his ticket. Nowadays I more often than not have the escort purchase his own ticket and I simply send him a check or postal money order to cover the cost of the ticket.

I have purchased tickets for guys in the past -- in general I know their real name, DOB and if necessary, their passport information and it is on record on my computer so whether I do this directly with an airline with whom I have FFM or with Expedia, the information is already in the computer. Of course, it means I already KNOW the guy, and he knows me (although he may not have all my personal info). I liked Anton's suggestion, but I have not used a travel agency in over a decade.

Once again the membership comes through! Thanks to all of you for your suggestions, and I will use them.

 

On a related issue . . . Since I hire only well-reviewed escorts, wouldn't it be awfully easy to destroy an escort's career if he stiffed me? Or am I overestimating the power of Daddy's Reviews and The Deli?

[ErieBear]

...if he stiffed me?

 

I can think of a few escorts that I'd like to get "stiffed" by.

[Racketjock]

I, too, have done the e-ticket thing without a hitch, but like others point out, it is at the discretion of the escort disclosing their name as it appears on their ID and DOB. Otherwise, with my favorite man with whom I have had repeat appointments, he has always bought the ticket that works well for both of us at a great rate, and I have reimbursed him when we met. It does come down to trust and what would work best. I will say the one and only time I advanced for a ticket, even with one of the most reviewed and discussed escorts around, is the one time I was stiffed for the appointment and $. Lesson learned!

[LouieD]

I have advanced lots of tickets and never had a problem, but all for guys I had at least met once.

 

After thoroughly discussing the arrangements with my guy, I prefer to make the reservation myself. That way I have control over the arrival and departure times and I always look for the nonstop flights.

 

And, I wouldn't dream of going away with a guy without knowing his full legal name and date of birth. If he's not willing to provide that, there is something seriously amiss.
