Most travel agencies and booking platforms accept credit cards, but that’s rare to have one that accepts Paypal.
And if you’re wondering why it can be advantageous to book with Paypal, it’s simple.
When you pay with Paypal, you don’t use your credit card, and you don’t take the risk of losing it or having someone stealing your number if you’re in a public area.
That’s a significant advantage when you plan a long trip and can’t afford to get your credit card details hacked.
