same thing happening with me, did you got any solution?

Try changing the country to USA or give an USA address with USA zipcode. This may help.

Call customer service and ask them to book using Indian credit cards. They will also eliminate the booking cost, which is typically $25 for each reservation made through customer care. In addition, some of the people here advised that it works if we change our address to the United States.

Hey, I ran into the same issue. Is there a workaround apart from calling the customer care?

Use a US address of your friend/family and then try the payment. If Indian card doesn't work then try US card.

I tried both, changing my address and US credit card. Apparently, when I called customer care, she mentioned that even though the website shows there is a flight available, she cannot book, given the airline was domestic.

I have done the booking using US card last month and it worked. It was an international flight though.

Did you use US credit card with US address??

Did you use US credit card with US address??

Nope, I used a US Address. I don't have a US credit card.

Nope, I used a US Address. I don't have a US credit card.

I did with US credit card and it worked.

Nope, I used a US Address. I don't have a US credit card.

Then try calling Customer Care as suggested already

Hey, I appreciate your help here. But, The only thing I didn't have is a US credit card. Otherwise, rest was sorted. I called their customer care also and they were saying that the inventory wasn't updated and the reward tickets are showing online but in reality are not available.

I did with US credit card and it worked.

Hey, Thank you once again. Did you get a US card from India or You live in US?

I used my friend's card and his address.

 

[wokrishnahai]

I used my friend's card and his address.

That's great. I don't have a friend in the US who would share his CC details. I can manage to get an address only. But, I am assuming paying through Indian credit card wouldn't be an issue. If any one has booked their flight using Indian CC and been successful, kindly share your experience.
