Do you remember the days of old paper airline tickets? Where arrival at the airport needs to be 2 to 3 hours in advance to check in and get a boarding pass printed just for a simple domestic flight? Evidently, the check -in process could take twice the time needed to get to a destination. Nowadays, airline tickets are generated as soon as travellers book their tickets, downloaded on their mobile phones and emailed to traveller’s convenience. Offering many advantages which include security, flexibility, cost, and convenience, e-tickets are significantly cheaper, making it possible for airlines to offer more competitive fares for travellers. E-tickets are booked and processed in real-time, saving labour hours and cutting down on travellers’ frustration. With its convenience, the travel and aviation industry is able to continue on its fast paced growth without any hindrance to unnecessary technicalities.
