Paper Ticket Vs E-Ticket

Would you choose a paper ticket or electronic ticket? Although the e-tickets take flight tickets, paper tickets are still on some occasions the only possible choice. I buy a cheap flight to Europe or domestic flight in the U.S., you can still find both types of tickets, and you definitely need to know the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

E-ticket electronic form of paper tickets. Let the reservation was made, as usual, but the agent issues the electronic equivalent of traditional paper ulaznica.Let data is not printed on the ticket, but it saved the Air Force "reservation system. Typically, the customer receives confirmation code (9 on the paper map below) and the itinerary shows the flight (s) information and / or e-ticket personal accounts. also, check out a sample e-ticket receipt coupon and the receipt of the itinerary below. There is basically not much difference between the e-ticket receipt coupon and the receipt of the traditional paper tickets.

Airlines may use different procedures, reservation systems and networks, and they are not always compatible.

PAPER TICKETS

is a traditional paper ticket cards that has a paper coupon for each trip segment, and this variation is still used in the travel industry. After booking a flight, the agent issues a printed copy (= coupon pass) from flight reservations and passenger receives a map consisting of paper coupons for each flight segment plus passenger certificate. This map is required at check-in time in exchange for a boarding pass.

If your issuing agent of this type of ticket, make sure to save the passenger receipt (coupon last) for your records during the trip.

Disadvantages of tickets:

• In the case of reissue (if the traveler lost ticket), there can be benefits in some cases, the traveler may request to purchase a new ticket.
  
• If a customer needs to change the ticket, he or she will have to present the old ticket agent. Usually, change or refund is not possible without the original map.
  
• Some airlines charge for tickets version

If you buy a plane ticket to Europe, Asia, Australia or anywhere monitors, you will almost always get a paper ticket for your child (children under 2 years) if she / he is traveling without a seat. Infants rarely take flight tickets if traveling to the United States.

Please note, always make sure that the agent takes proper travel voucher from the ticket. Maybe you have some questions on the next leg on the trip, if agent happens to have the wrong one. It does not happen often, but I suggest double-checking, but going through unnecessary trouble.
