Flights are one of the very few cases where this happens automatically though the card providers systems. It's called L2 data, and it's sent a little while after the transaction goes through.
- kccqzy 22d agoYup. I’m actually quite curious how airlines are convinced to send such information to banks whereas other kinds of stores aren’t.
- c0_0p_ 22d agoAirlines are just about the only business that have the ability to charge credit cards without real time authorization by the network. This is for things like buying a drink while in flight. I wouldn't be surprised if this was all part of the negotiation.
