Father brought my plane ticket on his credit card, does he need to come with me to check in? [duplicate]

So I'm leaving from England to Texas in 2 days and was wondering since my Father brought my tickets with his credit card, does he need to be there with the credit card at check in?

He's taking me to the airport so it's possible but will he need to be there on my return flight too? Because obviously that isn't possible since he isn't coming with me

The airline I'm flying with is Lufthansa by the way!

Also just to be sure...check in is before security right? so he would be in and out right? and does this matter if I check in online?

Hope I was clear, thanks for all the help :)

Some airlines require the credit card to be supplied at check-in. Some will even prevent you boarding at the gate if you check-in online and have hand luggage only (Cathay Pacific has been known to do this). Some airlines don't obligate you to provide the credit card at check-in if you specify that the person paying is not flying (e.g. British Airways). Some airlines require you to show the credit card on the outbound and the inbound (Royal Jordanian has done that to me). If an airline requires you to show credit card, this is sometimes indicated on the itinerary, and sometimes can be solved by the credit card holder going to an airline office or airport to prove ownership. Some airlines will accept a photocopy of front and back of the credit card.

If your father can accompany you to the airport that would undoutedbly resolve any potential problems. Check-in is before security.

Can a plane ticket be bought for someone else?

Buying a plane ticket for someone else is easy. All you need to do is make sure that you have the passenger information listed exactly as it is on their ID (driver's license, government-issued identification card, or passport). You can use any form of payment \u2013 even if it is not tied to the passenger.

What details do you need to book a flight for someone else?

Much like when you buy your own ticket, you will need to provide the birth date, full name (as it appears on their driver's license or other official ID), and country of residence. This seems simple, but it often trips people up because they don't ask their parents how their name appears on their IDs!

Do I have to show credit card at check-in?

No, the credit card is used for the payment of the ticket only. Depending on the requirements of airport authorities, you will need to present your travel documents and a mobile boarding pass, a paper boarding pass printed out by you or a paper boarding pass picked up from the check-in desk.
