PTA stands for Prepaid Ticket Advice (PTA). If a PTA has been sent to the airline for your reservation, we will email you one PTA number for all passengers involved in the booking. You will need to provide this PTA number at the airline ticket counter at the airport. The airline representative will issue you the paper ticket(s), which you need to show at check-in. In simple words its a system where we send a message to the airline for issuance of paper tickets at the airport. This is generally done in cases where paper tickets cannot be delivered at the customers address or in certain cases due to some countries rules and regulations we are unable to issue you a paper ticket. A PTA service fee of US $ 150 has been added to the Airline fees and taxes amount to cover this cost.
