I find it can take a few hours to get a confirmation email out of BA for paid bookings.

2:45PM EDT Time today, looking at the time stamp of my saved pdf file.

Still no email as of now passed 6pm EDT time.

All I really care is the e-Ticket number that to me is the ONLY PROOF that the itinerary is TICKETED. Everything else, including the itinerary shown on Manage My Booking, does not mean a thing. Only a Ticket is a Proof of Payment to the partner airline that they have received the flight coupon for the flights. This is the cardinal rule for award booking and I would use the same for the pay revenue ticket as well. That is why I find it ridiculous that there is NO WAY to find the e-Ticket number on BA's Manage My Booking screen. What are they thinking, really?
