Which airlines accept Apple Pay?

With Citi’s (late to the game) launch of Apple Pay in Singapore, they are giving 4-8 Miles per Singapore dollar spent. Everyone is looking for big ticket items to buy. So what airlines allow payment via Apple Pay in their apps or websites?

Singapore Airlines
Cathay Pacific
others?

Citi in Hong Kong has a similar offer with Apple Pay, though, sadly, only for extra Asia Miles.

You may use Apple Pay with Orbitz, Cheaptickets and Expedia USA for flights and hotels, and with Agoda for hotels.

It is also worth mentioning that the Citi HK offer limits the maximum number of miles earned per transactions to 1000 (and 15000 in total for the duration of the promo).

Speaking of which, I noticed on a recent flight that the payment devices the FAs are now using theoretically support NFC. No idea if that currently works or when it'll start working, however, but still worth noting for any future CC offers.

Old thread but bumping up for updates because..

None of the aggregator apps like Expedia or Opodo do Apple Pay. AA app doesn't do Apple Pay.

Like is there any third party app that takes Apple Pay?

I crossed off Aeroflot on the wiki since I'm assuming they're unable to support Apple Pay due to the current Russian sanctions. Feel free to update if that assumption is incorrect.

Southwest, JetBlue and Alaska accept Apple Pay for in flight purchases. I have never inquired about American since my AA Citi provides a purchase discount.

Jet2 accept both Apple Pay and Google Pay. Edit: from very recent personal experience.

How do you do Apple Pay on United? They make you add a card to the app before the flight for all purchases.

How does that work? I haven't flown United in years. What happens if you don't provide a card and change your mind mid0flight?
