i find this requirement a nuisance,the cc companies exercised stringent measures to ensure that all cc users are thoroughly 'screened' and authenticated be4 approvals
why must MAS imposed such measures to the detriment of passengers?

Moderator-assuming the existing procedures are to prevent online fraud or ? Would mas or the other airlines be affected by the forgery or fraud?put it simply would mas not have collected the monies from the cc?afterall mas is just a carrier and there's no ground for them to deny the registered party from travelling if the passengers name tally with their official documents and the ticket is already paid for

its neither an opinion nor a statement admonshing the airlines for their customer unfriendly or downright nonsensical arrangement that makes a mockery of the cc companies stringent procedure introduce to stem fraud
international online cc frauds are not confined to malaysia only,the airline can joined the cc company to fight this scourge at source but cursory inspection of those documents ie cc at check in counters is not going to contribute to reducing this kind of criminal activity

perhaps thats the reason its not a uniform requirement with other premier airlines SIA/Cx etc

thanks for the information which literally means all airlines have this obnoxious universal clause of not allowing bonafide travellers to board in the event that they are dissatisfied with the cc issue
my contention is- why introduce onerous condition when the online transaction is already approved by the banks unless any fraud detected thereafter will lead to non payment to the airlines concerned

my assertion/understanding that any transaction online or otherwise is deemed completed after been approved by the appropiate authorities is perhaps wrong and flawed to the core !!!!!

well if i m capable of starting an airline i wont be venting nuisance or spewing venom for your consumption here-mr smart alec

well mr smart alec -the entire discourse was on why introduce extra measures to contain or deter cc fraud which inconvenienced customers .more resources should have been directed to tackle potential frauds at source and not at the airline checkin counters.

maybe you should start your own fraud detecting firm at the airport instead
