Mainstream travel platforms are beginning to embrace crypto payments. The overseas version of the service recently launched a new feature — users can now directly book hotels and flights using USDT and USDC. This payment solution is technically supported by Triple-A, a licensed crypto payment institution based in Singapore, covering six major public blockchains including Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum One, and TON. Interestingly, when booking hotels with USDT, only a name and email are required, simplifying the process significantly; however, for flight tickets, due to aviation industry compliance requirements, passport information still needs to be provided. This case reflects a trend — the application scenarios of stablecoins in cross-border payments and daily consumption are gradually taking shape, and multi-chain deployment also demonstrates the increasing maturity of crypto payment infrastructure.

Finally, the day has come. Stablecoins are really coming
USDT directly booking hotels? This might be the end of fiat currency days
Honestly, this is the right way to open up, no more NFT avatars
All six public chains support it. This time it's not just a cash grab, they're really doing something

Stablecoins are really about to take off. Now using USDT to book hotels saves a lot of trouble.
However, for plane tickets, you still need passport information. Compliance is truly unavoidable.
Multi-chain support is a great detail; it seems the infrastructure is really taking root.
Triple-A's move is impressive. If the fees aren't a rip-off, it will definitely push forward.
Cross-border payments finally no longer have to be gouged by banks.

Stablecoins finally have their place, but we still need to wait for the airline industry to catch up.
---
The multi-chain support clearly shows that infrastructure is mature, but I wonder if gas fees will cause more issues.
---
Booking a hotel with USDT is much faster than filling out forms. This is what Web3 should be doing.
---
Triple-A's move is solid; just worried that future regulations might complicate things.
---
Finally, you can pay directly with crypto, no need to convert to fiat currency anymore.
---
Hotels and flights are both supported? That’s a huge win for cross-border travelers.
---
Covering six public blockchains—didn’t expect this level of efficiency. Seriously?

Stablecoin payments are finally moving from slogans to real actions. Speaking of which, multi-chain deployment clearly shows infrastructure is improving.

I have to say, booking a hotel with USDT is way more enjoyable than filling out a bunch of forms. Why do we still need a passport for plane tickets... Compliance really is the root of all evil.
---
Triple-A's recent move is pretty good, covering six public chains. Finally, no more asking "Does my chain support it?"
---
In cross-border payments, stablecoins really have potential. They're a hundred times faster than bank transfers. It all depends on how quickly merchants adopt them.
---
I'm a bit curious—using crypto payments in high-frequency scenarios like travel, is it next to start using them for dining and groceries?
---
Honestly, this feature launch is quite practical. No fancy stuff, just straightforwardly paying with USDT.
---
Multi-chain solutions have indeed solved many pain points, but I still want to ask—are there advantages in transaction fees and exchange rates?
---
Applications of stablecoins on the consumer side are increasing. It feels like large-scale adoption is not far off.
