This is definitely positive, but only a small step. Most people who use those airlines won't know about it. Won't look into what bitcoin is even if they see the payment option either. And mainstream news won't cover this. I don't expect bitcoin price to be affected either. But little by little it always helps.

this is always nice, I think any kind of mass usage of bitcoin a good popularity to it.

but the important thing is, how many people are going to use it in a Mexican airline

if the extra option is just there but no one ever uses it, I think it is useless!

That's great. It's a big step of making BTC more popular to people especially in our country. If big airlines do that like my above poster said , some of airlines from other country will definitely consider to use BTC as a payment. And if that happens , all flight here in our country including "DOMESTIC" flight will use the same method. As of now we use BTC here as payment for prepaid loads, bills etc. If airlines will do then that's more great. Hope to see it in my country 5years or less from now.

Talk about a perfect escape, huh?

it sounds great finally we have an airline who start accepting bitcoin as payment, i am sure in future more airlines will be in line of bitcoin.

thanks for the info i've been looking for airline site that accepted bitcoin for their payment,i have a plan traveling with a flight in this month and bitcoin its a best solution for payment

It's good but when the process are too slow it's not definitely helpfull for the people who arrive rush because it delay the time that they manage and some people didn't know bitcoin what really is

He may like Bitcoin personally but still he must think like a business person.
He is certainly aware that the vast majority of his users do not use bitcoin and also he probably see some shortcomings of BTC like unstable value in the market.
Nobody wants to lose money in business and intelligence always comes before feelings.
It's great that some small airlines companies accept Bitcoin but we are still far from full acceptance of BTC.

Bitcoin really is perfect for that kind of thing though in all seriousness, can put it on a USB or somewhere safe on the internet while you travel, leave the country and open a bank account somewhere else where the country you left can't freeze it.

Which is exactly what I'll be doing when I have the money to.

well i think that all those news about btc are always good for us, so from my point of view this is a good news.

because things like that maybe others will consider to do the same, who know?

now while flying ppl will ask to himself what's btc?
