How to Use an Airline E-Ticket

-
-

An e-ticket provides information from your airline's computer database, including your name, the date and time of your flight, and your seating assignment. Get to your next destination with an airline e-ticket.

Step 1: Research
Research online for the best airfare and accommodations for your upcoming flight.

Step 2: Buy
Contact your preferred airline directly or use a travel agent; or buy your ticket online with a debit or credit card.

Tip
You will need your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, destination, travel dates, and credit card information.

Step 3: Check your e-mail
Check your e-mail for your confirmation and print the documents detailing your trip.

Step 4: Check in online
Log on to your airline's website and look for an online check-in tab. Enter your last name and record locator, which will allow you to pick your seat on the plane, check bags, and print your boarding pass.

Step 5: Claim ticket
If you don't check in online, check in with your airline at the counter or self-serve kiosk to claim your ticket and boarding pass. Have your government-issued photo identification and the credit card you used to purchase the ticket ready.

Did You Know?
According to the International Air Transport Association, the switch to total e-ticketing will save approximately 50,000 mature trees each year.

I'm pretty sure I didn't search for a video nor is this title "how to book a flight online." How the heck do I get my tickets at the airport once I purchase my flight online? Duh. That's a video I'm going to make that will get way more hits than this one as it is the one everyone wants the answer to.
