GENEVA (Reuters) - The global airlines body IATA said on Monday it
had placed its last order for paper tickets, clearing the way for air
travel to be based entirely on electronic ticketing from June 1 next
year.
"In just 278 more days, the paper ticket will become a collector's
item," said Giovanni Bisignani, director general of the International
Air Transport Association.
Does this mean the end of air travel for someone who doesn't have a
credit card and a PC?
T.
Why? You can book etickets by phone, at the airport, and through TA's.
