9W is quite good at etickets, and in fact prefers them .. paper tix are issued in very rare cases as a last resort.
As for CZ, like quite a few chinese airlines they just can't seem to wrap their minds around the idea of etix. And then there's other fun issues like this one, once you board -

Dont compare a class act like 9W (or IT) to some tinpot chinese airline .. hell, even IC does etix just fine, though they have a long, long history of doing paper tickets when everybody else was doing etix.

Of couse, I didn't have the paper tickets; I only had e-tickets because that's what NW issued to me.
I don't want this to happen again in BKK and DEL.
