I've never had any problems with etickets at SVO and LED. Just give them some time and they'll catch up with this at OVB, too

I had no such problem at OVB when I was there in July/August. In fact I had no such problem with electronic tickets in the CIS as far back as June, 2007.

I must get the bone-headed trainees then, because I had this issue as recently as April of '08. I stood there for 10 minutes (I looked at my watch) and argued with these people, and they just didn't get it. The problem I had at SVO was in June. As we were all walking to board the plane, the first GA scanned my boarding pass, and then there was another GA about 20 feet down collecting paper tickets as we entered the jetway. I knew right away there was going to be a problem. "I need your ticket please," she said as I walked up. "No, I have an electronic ticket...no paper," I said. She rolled her eyes at me like I was biggest hassle she had to deal with all day, and motioned me on the plane.

Now, could be a stupid question but, when I fill out the migration card, I put down purpose as "trourism" and put down the info where I'm staying and such from the voucher and not where I'm actually staying, right?

Correct. That's exactly what I do.
