Paying for Air tickets in Burma

Country forums / South-East Asia Mainland / Myanmar

Hello Folks

When buying air tickes for domestic flights in Burma, is it possible to pay by credit card or is cash still king?

thanks

Cash with US$ clean and crisp with no CB in numbers

In Myanmar no credit system, all the people they like only cash that must be pure and no CB.

Credit card transactions are possible, mainly at upmarket hotels, even a cash advance can sometimes be arranged. Also some shops can take credit cards.
Downside is that you pay a transaction fee. Between 7% (if you are very lucky) and up to 30%.
