So, my friend is now coming on holiday with me, but I've already booked it, so she is going to have to book it herself.
But my friend's mum is using her credit card to book it herself, but for electronic tickets, you need to bring a credit card to the airport.
Can my friend bring the credit card and do it herself or will her mum have to come to the airport, because it's her credit card.

I recently bought tickets on my credit card for my wife's family to visit (1 short haul; 1 long haul leg each way, both international). Both airlines required a COPY of the credit card to be shown at check-in - not as ID but as proof of having the credit card rather than just some numbers swiped off the internet.
Best thing to do is to phone the airline involved and ask exactly what is required. Nobody here is going to be able to give you a precise answer because we don't know what airline, what route, or what airports you'll be using.
(Since you spelt "mum" correctly in English, I suspect you're not in the US or Canada).

The person traveling has to show SOME form of ID to check in. If the ticket was purchased by someone else, which is fine, that credit card can NOT be used to check in, as it isnt the passenger's credit card.
Check with the airline about what ID is required to check in !

She could ask the airport if getting a credit card, ID copy and authorization letter would be sufficient. If not then her mum needs to come over.

Especially since it is the holiday season... the mom will probably have to go... the airline will ask to see i.d. to match the name on the credit card
