How to Book Airplane Tickets Without a Credit Card

1. Book your airplane tickets with your checking account. In many cases, on the payment page of your favorite travel site there will be a way to select your method of payment. If you choose to use your checking account, you will need to enter your routing and transit numbers, found at the bottom of your checks. There will be an example on the website. The money is then transferred from your checking account to the agency and your tickets are reserved. It is also possible to do this if you are using a travel agent or if you have contacted an airline directly.
2. Buy a prepaid debit card. Available in many locations, you can purchase a debit card for a nominal amount and then pay case at the time of purchase to fill the card. You can then use the debit card as you would a Visa or Master card and purchase your airline tickets online, from a travel agent or directly from an airline.
3. Use Paypal to purchase your tickets. If you are looking to purchase your tickets online and don't want to give the site your checking account information, consider using Paypal. You can transfer enough money into the Paypal account to cover the tickets and use Paypal as your method of payment. Alternately, if you have a Paypal debit card you can use that in lieu of a credit card.
4. Pay for your tickets with cash. While this method doesn't work online, it does work for both travel agents and airlines. You take the necessary amount of money in cash, purchase the tickets and the matter is resolved.
