lookup ebookers.ie, I have often booked on there with my Laser card, booked a flight to Thailand with Etihad with them in January but paid by Mastercard, however Laser was a payment option also as far as I remember.

Sometimes with ebookers if you first lookup the flight you want on skyscanner.net and then follow through the link into ebookers you will get a reduction, this was how I booked my flights with Etihad then.

When you get it booked back report back here to let the forum know

Nah there down for me too, Maybe just wait until after midnight as today is the 13th afterall :P ebookers are grand and I use them alot for Hotels too in which case it was cheaper to book with Laser as there was a small credit card surcharge when I used them last year in Sydney.

Hopefully it will be back in a few hours, Now that I've decided definite dates etc I just want to get it booked, That way i have a deadline to do all the things of been putting off the last few weeks..

No Joy with ebookers, They say they take laser but when you get to the payment page its not an option, Seriously big bubble burst ha, Just have to get my hands on a credit card..

I just did a dummy run there (without actually booking!) on a Dublin to Bangkok flight with Etihad and ebookers still had my Laser details stored and Laser is still an option in the add new payment details part. Also exactly as I remembered from last year laser incurs no surcharge wheras ebookers are charging over €14 for the use of a credit card on the above flight which was over €900.

Are you sure you tried ebookers.ie and not ebookers.co.uk or ebookers.com; because Laser would not be an option on the .com or .co.uk sites. If you took my earlier advice and followed on through from skyscanner.net then most likely you were not directed to ebookers.ie which would have caused it.

If you are outside Ireland your IP would automatically send you to the relevant ebookers site, .ie, .co.uk, .fr etc. However you should still be able to add a Laser card as I actually added my laser card to my ebookers.ie account when I was in Australia last year to avoid paying the extra credit card fees.

Try e-travel.ie first. Very often cheaper than ebookers etc.

Managed to get it booked with etravel, Reason it wasn't working online is that laser cards have a max limit of 1500 a day, and my flights were 3k, so when i called them they just charged it 1500 then the same the next day, Thanks for your help
