In the past, when an individual went to book airline tickets it was usually to a travel agent or directly to the carrier, this practice is still available but in most cases airline tickets are now booked electronically and the traveler can print out the reservation information and often the boarding pass as well. In some cases the E-Ticket is emailed to the passenger or printed directly from the web site of the carrier and in other cases the ticket simply is displayed on a smartphone using an app developed by the carrier. Regardless of how the passenger gets the E-Ticket, all the reservation information is held in the airlines central computer and the passenger has a locator number assigned to the flight.
The E-Ticket is a great money saver for the airline as there is no need to generate paper versions and in many cases, the staff numbers can be reduced. The E-Ticket is extremely reliable; there is no need for the ticket to be delivered by mail or courier.
When you book airline tickets and the result is an E-Ticket, this means that the passenger is responsible for printing it and having it ready for inspection at the airport. In many cases, an E-Ticket comes with on-line check in, if it does then this is something definitely worth doing as it eliminates waiting in line. If online check-in is not available then in other cases check in can be accomplished at a kiosk located in the terminal. If you have to check in at the counter it is just a matter of showing the reservation document which includes the locator information, the counter clerk can quickly locate your reservation and issue the boarding pass.
Most major airlines are now issuing and accepting E-Tickets, however, there are still some airlines that do not. It is always a good idea to check with the airline and find out what their procedure is for issuing a ticket and boarding pass. This situation is sometimes found when the passenger is flying on the primary carrier’s code-share partner, the main airline will always honor the ticket but at times there may be difficulties with the code-share partner.
It is easy to purchase an E=Ticket, just visit the web site of the airline, select the flight that suits your travel plans and pay online with an acceptable credit card.
