Virtually there / AC question
 

I expressed this in an earlier post - but AC's fares to my hometown of YQX have dropped soooooooo dramatically I've been promoting the fares to most of my relatives who live outside of Newfoundland now.

I just bought three tickets for my aunt. I'm going to see her tomorrow and would like to print out the e-tickets. However, the e-tickets for those who fly once every three years (my aunt) are still confusing. I'd like to print out the Sabre Virtuallythere printout as it's more less-than-frequently-travelled friendly.

How long after I book a ticket on AC.ca are the reservations available on Sabre VT? Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

I may be wrong but if you booked directly with AC then I don't think it will show up on virtually there.

eeek! thanks.. I'll pretty up the printout myself tonight. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

When I book flights (always on AC of course) for colleagues who don't fly very often, I print out the e-ticket and mark the important information - terminal, flight times and numbers - in two different coloured highlighters, one colour for outbound, another for return. I do this for myself as well as it makes it easier to quickly check the critical info on the ticket without having to wade through all the fine print stuff.

Hampton, that's a fabulous idea; I never thought of doing that! Time to get out the markers...

I used to always wonder how someone could miss a flight until it happened to me a few months back. I thought I was leaving on an evening flight, but an early afternoon flight was booked, by myself of course. Since that happened I created a spreadsheet showing pertinent details for each flight that I update whenever I make a new booking, and make it a habit of keeping the sheet upto date. The sheet is very simple and I email it to my hotmail account whenever I edit it so that I have access to it from anywhere if I don't have my laptop with me.
