Is there any possible way I can get screwed buying my friend airline tickets online?

He wants me to see how much they are and he will give me the money and then I buy them online. Don't the prices change from moment to moment?

Besides the money is there any way I can get into trouble for something he does? Is there any way he will be able to get my credit card number?

    well, I never got screwed while doing something on the computer (though I've seen plenty of people screwing on my compute) but I guess if you concentrate, you can type with at least one hand while you're, uh, doing other things.

    but anyway....have your friend there with the $ while you are doing it....if you can't trust your friend not to nick your credt card #, doesn't sound like much of a friend! and no, even if he hijacks the plane, your buying the ticket for him is an innocent act!

    no a lot people buy tickets for their friends

    and once aticket is bought he on the flight even if the price

    goes up you are safe..the airline wont make you pay more

    and no he cant get your credit number

    note howeever if you dont trust him

    he could go to a travel agent which will gladly take his money

    I would tell your friend to buy his own tickets, using his own account. Does he not have access to a computer? Let him use yours or go to the public library and use one there.
