If you go to a more expensive hotel, they strongly discourage you from using cash.  Even when you convince them to take cash, you often still have to secure the room with a credit card.  The reason being, if there are any damages they have a way of billing you.  Likewise, I suspect that you can pay cash for a plane ticket, but don't be surprised if they ask you to secure it with a credit card.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see them letting you off that easily.

One thing you might look into is looking at non-refundable tickets.  They are usually cheaper, and you might not be penalized if you don't take the return flight.  You're just out the cost of the return fare.  

Hope that helps.

I just say because I usually book mine through Continental to reserve them but then go & pay for them cash at the airport itself. I'm trying to remember if they ask me for a CC when I tell them to hold it for me.
