What is an electronic ticket?
An electronic ticket (e-ticket) requires no paper ticket. The confirmation/itinerary that you receive upon payment of your reservation is your proof of ticketing. Bring both your confirmation/itinerary and a photo I.D. to the airport when checking in for your flight to receive your boarding pass. The benefit of an e-ticket is that it cannot be lost or stolen.
Electronic Ticket (e-ticket) is a paperless ticket. Unlike paper ticket that must be presented to airport check-in staff for acceptance to boarding, an e-ticket is stored in airlines’ system and can be retrieved electronically for Check-in to flights. However, it would be advisable to bring along a printed copy of your e-ticket for faster check-in process or upon request for viewing by the airline staff. Electronic ticket record/s can be retrieved by names, passport number and/or ticket number.
An electronic ticket, shortened as e-ticket, is an electronic record of the traditional paper ticket which is now offered by most of the major airlines. Or rather, an e-ticket memorizes the information of both flights and passengers from the internet and stores it in the ticket-reservation system. They allow you to travel without a paper ticket, eliminating the worry of leaving behind your tickets. An e-ticket proves your airline ticket purchases instead of a paper record; the only record of a ticket sale is in the electronic record in the airline’s computer system. For passengers, e-tickets are used in the same way as paper tickets.
An e-ticket is an electronic record that holds the information previously held on a paper ticket and stores it securely on a database. Electronic tickets follow IATA global standards and are therefore compatible with ground handling, distribution and accounting processes used by the global community of airlines.
