Quick question, does anyone know if Americans (with flights departing from and returning to America from Europe) can purchase flights from this British site? Might seem like a dumb question, but just wanted to be sure. :)
Thanks!

Don't see why not, you can but try. As long as your credit card company does not block the transaction.

Sonja,
As Chris noted, let your credit card issuer know it is to expect a purchase from Great Britain & the website you are ordering from. Just call customer service or the phone # (security) on the back of your card.

I use EU websites a lot for flights, cars, ect., especially expedia.co.uk. This last May I scored a Lufthansa RT RDU-Hanover cheaper than I could on any website in the U.S.-saved +$400 RT over a flight that was just RDU to FRA.
Since I travel 2-3 times a year on business and pleasure, my Chase card usually just sends me a text verifying I made an off-shore charge from the U.S. so don't really need to clear it with them before I go searching.
