Added Security for Credit Card Purchase: Authentication Service

About Authentication Service

When you purchase an international ticket with your credit card through our website, your purchase will be authenticated using your pre-registered password or a one-time password issued via a mobile app or by SMS to protect your credit card against online fraud and identity theft. This is an authentication service that is being introduced by each card issuer and requires registration in advance.
