Yes, it is fine. You can book book the flight to originate in the US back to the UK for example from the UK. This is often done by British citizens who have second homes in the US, expatriates etc.. It is also often done in reverse US Servicemen serving on UK bases, or by parents paying for their kids on student exchanges to come home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Airlines are used to bookings from one country which originate in another. The trick is to find someone in the UK willing to make the booking and charge it to a UK based Credit Card. If it is electronic tickets, there is no need to send tickets over.
