Default IATA bids farewell to paper tickets

E-tickets are not written contracts if there is no writing, and there
is no writing when they are booked by phone. You do know the
definition of "writing," don't you?


Question...

E - tickets purchased on the Internet - or by phone - from AA (and I
suppose most other airlines) are followed by an email from the airline to
the purchaser acknowledging the details of the purchase (and transmitting a
link to the conditions of carriage). I am of the impression that the
acknowledgement describing and defining the purchase consitutes the legal
equivalent of a contract. Apparently, acknowledgements of transactions do
constitute contracts in some other tranactions mentioned in the UCC.


It does. VS was quoting a post of mine from 2000 which was in
reference to a purely oral transaction with no written confirmation.




By the way, where is your law degree from? Where are you authorized
to practice law?
