Some airlines still require passengers to reconfirm their flights, including Air China, Air India and Egypt Air. If you need to reconfirm your flight, you would have been told at the time of booking. However, for peace of mind, you may wish to contact the airline’s customer services department or have a look at the help section on the airline’s website.
The email you receive with your e-ticket contains your booking confirmation number, passenger itinerary and receipt. It will be received as soon as your online booking has been confirmed and approved. This is normally within 48 hours. Although not strictly necessary, you should print out your e-ticket before leaving for the airport and keep it with your travel documents. Some airlines need to see the card that you used to make the purchase, so make sure you have it with you.
Information included with an e-ticket includes carriage terms and conditions, fare and tax details, baggage allowance, issuing office, method of payment, and a summary of the restrictions.
Some airlines, such as Cathay Pacific and Continental Airlines, allow you to check-in online. The benefits include selecting or changing your seat, self-printing your boarding pass, getting the latest departure and weather information, and dropping your bags at the self check-in bag drop counter. You may also have the option of checking-in by phone or at a self-service kiosk.
The e-ticket was invented by Joel R Goheen of JRG Airlines in Florida. It became mandatory for IATA (International Air Transport Association) members on 1st June 2008. The beauty of the e-ticket is that it can’t be lost or stolen as it exists only as a digital record on the airline’s computer system. It is also environmentally friendly with far less paper being used.
