Asia is probably the most cryptocurrency receptive part of the world where, in addition to a strong bitcoin trading mania, you can already find many regular companies accepting crypto payments to attract new clients. Asian consumers now have yet another way to spend their bitcoin: buying flight tickets for travel around the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flight Bitcoin Air 101 Ready to Depart<\/h2>\n


\"\"<\/p>\n

Zhang Gangwei, the airline\u2019s president, commented: \u201cThe widespread use of cryptocurrency in various scenarios will usher in a new future for the airline business, lodging industry, OTA (Online Travel Agent) and the entire tourism sector. FAT is about to be the number one in the industry to embrace cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Fly to China, Japan, South Korea and Beyond<\/h2>\n

Far Eastern Air currently operates flight services around east and southeast Asia, including lines to several cities in China and Japan, Cambodia, the Philippines, and South Korea as well as a number of destinations across Taiwan. According to its\u00a0announcement<\/a>\u00a0(text in Chinese), passengers will now be able to enjoy a more convenient and \u201cdiscounted\u201d booking experience using cryptocurrency as they purchase from its over 20,000 flights a year and all related travel products of the company.\"\"<\/p>\n

Considering its home and target markets, it is no surprise that the airline wants to be seen as a crypto pioneer. Besides the regional media attention that it will no doubt bring, accepting cryptocurrency payments will hopefully attract the many passionate bitcoin traders and users that Asian countries, Japan and South Korea specially right now, are known for.<\/p>\n

And if you are a crypto flyer and looking for a place to land, it was just\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that a South Korean travel website with over 50,000 hotels and other types of accommodation facilities will also accept cryptocurrency payments.<\/p>\n
