Has anyone bought flight tickets on-line?
Most likely all you will get is a confirmation and itinerary. Some airlines web sites will allow you to print your boarding passes within 24 hours of your flight. If checking luggage, you will still have to present your luggage at the check-in counter. Already having your boarding will save some time. You will still need a valid picture id – drivers license or passport. If you do not pre-print your boarding pass, just go to the check-in counter and show your id. It’s simple. Take your printed confirmation with you just in case, but I have never had to show it. Check your itinerary thru the airlines web site the day before you leave for the airport because sometimes they change your flight times. If they do, it may only be a few minutes up or back but it is always better to make sure. It could affect your arrival time at the airport.
