When I fly, I go e-ticket. Its cheaper and I don't have the hassle of forgetting I left my paper ticket at home before the flight. Oops! Now that can really ruin your flying day.

The problem with paperless ticketing is that you just have to have faith in the moron who booked your flight to have done it properly.

All major reservation systems (Sabre, Covea, Worldspan) run on TPF, a transaction-based IBM operating system.

There's no reason why they can't honor each other's e-tickets, and they appear to be doing just that.

Paper tickets are history.

We have too few passengers, we are going bankrupt. Dustup the riders we do have, teach them a lesson.

I haven't flown anywhere since a month after 9/11 when security was tight. At that time they refused to let people with e-tickets through security. I take it that has changed. Hopefully there are no security considerations.

E-tickets are great.

It's a bit confusing the first time you use it, but on domestic flights or other jaunts where you only have a carry-on, you can be checked in and on your way in 2 minutes.
