Innovation does not stand still, and thanks to this, you no longer need to buy paper tickets. You can lose them! The era of electronic tickets has come - reliable, compact and versatile.
The development of technology leads to the introduction of useful and necessary electronic devices and innovations into everyday life. This applies to all spheres of life: production, trade, communication. Innovations are also present in the field of transport, for example, in passenger and cargo air transportation. One of the innovations is the emergence of electronic tickets for flights. We can say that this innovation came as a surprise to some airline customers, and not all of them have finally realized what an electronic ticket is and what it looks like. It's time to figure this out.
What is an e-ticket
An electronic ticket is a special form of a ticket that differs from the traditional one in that all information is stored not on paper, but in electronic form in the general reservation database. This greatly simplifies the life of airlines and passengers, since there is no need for paperwork, and the ticket itself cannot be lost or accidentally torn. To obtain such a ticket, you only need a passport and an e-mail address to which the data of the purchased electronic ticket will be sent. For the first time, the huge benefits of this new technology were appreciated in Europe, where electronic tickets have been used for several years.
What this miracle of innovation looks like
An e-ticket may look like a set of data in the form of a letter in an e-mail box on the monitor screen, but it can be printed, and then it will look like a receipt. It contains basic information about the ticket, it confirms the fact of purchase and the presence of the ticket itself. As a rule, the receipt contains the following information: complete information about the buyer of the electronic ticket, the list of information established by international standards, the number, date and time of departure of the flight, as well as codes or names of points of departure and arrival, fare and total cost of the flight, form of payment, availability fees, date of issue of the ticket, its unique number, booking status code.
All these numerous data are compactly placed on a small receipt, if lost, you can re-print it on plain paper, the same one thanks to the presence of data in the global database. Frequent buyers of electronic tickets will not be amiss to learn basic English - all ticket details are in this language. But this is not such a serious problem - you can use the dictionary at any time.
