Grab my always packed camping pack and rifle case + ammunition, get in car, drive to airport, call 911 on the way and inform them that armed individuals are breaking into my house providing the address and hang up immediately, park car at airport parking lot and pay with card, take taxi back into city with cash, get bus ticket with cash which takes me out to the woods/mountains, camp there until I can’t.
It would also be wise to immediately book a one way ticket to anywhere on the way to the airport and then not use it.
Even if they have access to my payment details, the last things they would see are parking for the airport and buying a plane ticket.
They would need access to the airports CCTV to determine that I did not actually board the flight.
If they had access to this, and were able to get access to the city CCTV as well, the best they could possibly determine after many hours or days is that I was last seen taking a bus west.

Hmmm, no they can just ask the airline. They keep track of who boarded and that information is not protected or privileged at all
I’d give you kudos for the creativity, this would make a great scene in a Jack Reacher episode as long as the plot moves on so the audience doesn’t have to time to linger on it
I would agree if it were domestic agents, but if airlines will comply if a foreign agent just asks for it, then that is somewhat concerning since its a multinational corporation freely handing over information on private individuals to authorities that don’t have local jurisdiction without so much as a warrant.
Like unless the foreign agents are working in cooperation with the local government, I don’t think for example, an agent of CSIS could walk into an airport in Tokyo and just ask them where Marcus D. Walton flew to or to see their security tapes and expect to get an answer from Japan Airlines without a shit load of red tape.
More likely, that would get them arrested and questioned as to why they’re conducting an illegal investigation of a private individual on foreign soil and probably be seen as an international incident creating a lot of friction between the two nations.
I expect you probably missed that the question denotes foreign agents so no worries.
But then why buy the ticket at all? How are foreign agents going to get your credit card purchase? Just leaving the car in the airport should be enough

You are right on that, I read “agents” and missed the foreign part

This is an excellent point and someone else also pointed out that it wouldn’t be necessary.
It might be better not to buy a ticket at all. Finding out that you didn’t board a plane gives them more information about your whereabouts than not being able to determine if you got on a plane with fake ID under a different name.

Hmmmm, no that will still take hours or days and he’ll be long gone. The boarding log or the cctv doesn’t make a difference

Valid point, good thinking.
Buy two tickets for the same plane. One with your credentials and one with a fake name.
Have them think you didn’t go to that place, but actually go there.
