Out of Paper
Posted on | August 29, 2007 |
Paper airline tickets will no longer be in use after June 1, 2008, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), meaning that the industry will only use an electronic system. By eliminating paper ticketing, the airlines hope to save $9 per passenger and 50,000 trees a year.
Not used to the electronic ticket system yet? Here are a few additional electronic ticket tips to speed up the check-in process at the airport:
1. Put your I.D. (license and/or passport) and a printout of your ticket in a handy place such as a front zipper pocket for easy access.
2. Spot the individual kiosks at the ticket counter.Â
- You’ll need to type in each passenger’s name to start with.
- You might also need to enter the ticket ID or travel number which can be found on your electronic ticket printout.
- You’ll need to enter the number of bags you’ll be checking as well (1-2).
3. You’ll still need to keep your boarding pass and ID out in order to go through security.
