Electronic tickets are stored in the airline’s computer rather than printed on paper. The service is similar to the traditional paper ticket process, but eliminates the time and hassle associated with purchasing or exchanging a paper ticket. Because your electronic ticket is held in the airlines computer, it is impossible to forget it or lose it. More importantly, your electronic ticket cannot be stolen, saving you the cost of a replacement ticket. You do not have to wait for your ticket to be delivered to you. You collect your boarding pass when you check in. Remember to take personal identification with you.
