I bought a ticket for my wife on Cathay from LA, but I also had to buy her a separate ticket from Tucson to LA, and there was no way I could show my face in LA. When I saw the fine print on the ticket after paying with my credit card, I wrote a letter with my signature saying my wife was authorized to use my credit card, I included a copy of my driver's license and a photocopy of the credit card (which I made my wife destroy after showing the airline). The airline accepted that.

I worked at Penske Truck Rental and anybody using a credit card in somebody else's name was required to have a letter from that person with a photocopy of the their ID and the credit card, along with a signature, so I prayed that it would work as well for Cathay and it did.
