Do you have problems booking on Chinese airlines website with cc ?

[Morrison]

Last year my payment did not go through on AirChina’s website and I used Expedia instead.

Now it’s China Southern where payment doesn’t go through.
Foreign credit card,
I use photoTAN but don’t get any message on that app either.

This time Expedia doesn’t give me the same price , nor same airport options
( in Shanghai)

Interestingly, my cousin booked a flight last year and was able to pay on Air China’s website, and we have actually the same bank and credit card.

Could it be that it’s because I chose Asia region in the initial mask when they ask for region and language, but the card is Europe ? Billing, I tried both countries. To no avail

card is good, I checked it online

What do you mean you checked your card online?

Did you try to do a different transaction? Did you call the bank?

My card was blocked this year when I tried booking flights home from HK. I didn't know about it until I called the bank.

I can check my card status online, change pin and stuff by logging into my bank’s website, it shows card is active

Chineese airlines web site can be trouble to deal with. Trip.com often makes your life easier
