No 'e-ticket receipt' tab on Check My Trip = Air Europa flight not ticketed?

Apologies, I'm a n00b at all this

A couple of months back I made a booking on Air Europa with Orbitz. Just looked on Check My Trip and there's no 'e-ticket' tab. Does that mean it hasn't been ticketed?

The booking isn't until December, could that be why? Also, I got an e-mail about 6 weeks ago saying there'd be a very minor schedule change, could that be why it's not ticketed?

I would try the Air Europe website. Perhaps there you will be able to find the ticket number. If it has a ticket number, it has been ticketed.

Check My trip is not always accurate. I have noticed that sometimes details are missing, while they are actually in the reservation.

I have noticed that too, quite often with e-ticket numbers.

As pointed out by Xandrios, best is to check the UX website.

what's the relevant place of the Air Europa website?

I can log in to change my seat reservation, but is there somewhere with an e-ticket number?

Can you access your reservation through the AF or KL website? You should be able to see the e-ticket number there as well.

When booking comes from Expedia (which works on Sabre system) the ticket number is also not shown on CheckMyTrip (which is Amadeus), but it's always visable within the itinerary in Expedia. So try checking the Orbitz itinerary online.

You can also have a look on the credit card statement, if the airline charged you directly, there is sometimes a ticket number as a title of the transaction.

It's scary, you always need to make sure you've got that ticket number, somehow. I once turned up at FRA for a CSA Czech Airlines flight, having paid and printed the reservation, and was told there was no seat for me because no tkt number had been issued.

Today, Air Europa called me, about a problem issuing the GVA-MAD-GVA reservation. They needed the security number on my credit card, and it had been impossible to do it on their website during the reservation. I wish I had thought to ask, before the tkt was finally issued, if it was possible to add a flight at the MAD end of trip, namely to VGO. It might not have been too dear in conjunction with an international ticket.

Also, I think that tickets with a reservation date far in the future get issued a lot later than one expects. So it is possible that your ticket is queued but simply not issued yet.

didn't spot it when I checked on KLM's site...but when I clicked to 'print' the reservation, there appeared to be a 'ticket number'. so all is well

. I'll keep checking closer the time, thanks

Often, when you have a schedule change, the ticket needs to be re-validated. Maybe this has not been done yet and is the reason of your problem ?
