Is E-ticket okay for International travel?
In article ,
Douglas W. Hoyt wrote: E-Ticket is just like a paper form ticket, but without the paper.... Except that a paper ticket is a negotiable document In what sense is a paper ticket negotiable? Most CoCs I've seen (Spirit seems to be the only exception in the US) prohibit name changes, even on full-fare tickets, meaning you can't really sell your paper ticket to anyone. If an airline finds that the value of a ticket you lost has been redeemed somewhere, it can get even more complicated. How can someone ``redeem'' the value of a ticket issued to a different person? I honestly can't think of any way to do this, but maybe I'm just not inventive enough |

Is E-ticket okay for International travel?
There are some countries that don't accept e-tickets (most notably,
Russia.) Is E-ticket okay for International travel?

I feel aprehensive about this, but don't know if I am worrying needlessly. What is the opinion of the group? Is it a good idea to fly BA internationally with E-tickets? Thanks for your advice! What are you apprehensive about? BA wouldn't sell you this ticket if it was not acceptable for travel on that route. |

Also, some companies will not accept them for travel reimbursement.

This is one time where it doesnt matter. While they are o.k. in general, there are occasional hiccups especially if 1) computers are down (never experienced this) or 2) codeshare partners don't get all the info or 3) codeshare partner agents are improperly trained |

Is E-ticket okay for International travel?
I've found a pretty good rate for BA flights in October (SEA to AMS, MUC
to SEA) but the rates are only good for E-tickets. I feel aprehensive about this, but don't know if I am worrying needlessly. What is the opinion of the group? Is it a good idea to fly BA internationally with E-tickets? Some airlines on certain routes won't do a paper ticket. Notably SQ LHR-SIN. Or at least my TA told me so. |

Is this the usual worry of wondering if 'foreign' places actually have electricity, never mind computers? ;-) |

Is E-ticket okay for International travel?
Yes unless something goes wrong. I was on Delta, missed a connection,
needed to be rerouted on Air France, it would not take eTicket from Delta. I almost missed flight waiting on Delta to issue a paper ticket. Still I prefer etickets. To much hassle if you lose a paper ticket -- and I sometimes do!!!

I've flown to Europe 4 times in the last 4 years, but only with a paper ticket and never with BA. AND (more importantly), I've always had non-stops and now I'll have to change in London. So, I am always wary of connections, especially since I have never been to Heathrow. I ususally fly direct to Schiphol or FRA. |

Booking via the Internet is very normal these days. Ticketless flights are great. Recently I have noticed that an ID number from the printed off booking confirmation is not needed at check in. They just look at your passport and go to the flight passenger list. I suppose that if there were 2 or more pax with the same name, they may ask for the booking reference. Seems so much easier than all that silly rigmarole of coupons. I still keep copy of the booking though! |
