ELI5: why do fraudsters use stolen credit card details to buy things that I think can be easily traced back to them?

Background - over the weekend, I received a call from the bank saying there are suspicious transactions on my account. Turns out the fraudster has used my credit card details to purchase 3 flights online. 
EDIT: should have mentioned the fraudster spent GBP 3000 on 3 separate transactions on 2 websites. 

Wouldn't the fraudster need to input their names, date of birth, and passport details while purchasing flights? So the bank can trace back to exactly who committed the fraud? Isn't that really risky?

You are considering fraudsters to be just like you. You have a fixed address. You own important things. You can be traced.

The fraudster lives in a different world. Those airplane tickets may have been shuttles to Washington D.C. Buy, board, fly, leave. Three people may have flown a short flight. They were gone before they could be traced.

A fraudster may do a thousand dollars worth of damage in order to get a few dollars worth of value. It does not matter to him or her. What matters is that their was a gain for them. Things can be bought online, then returned for cash. Fake IDs can be arranged that work to buy things. Then those things can be pawned.
