E-tickets are a huge advantage. A lost paper ticket in a remote corner of the world is a disaster. A lost copy of an e-ticket receipt is only a problem until you can get to the nearest internet computer and printer. E-tickets still require a paper copy of the receipt (=PITA), but this sure beats the old red carbon booklets.
