E-tickets vs Paper Tickets
Hi! I'm pretty new to this forum and I just don't know where to place this topic.
I want to have an idea of how paper tickets worked prior to them being phased-out. I mean why where they necessary prior to the e-ticket when a computer network was used anyway to send passenger information from the travel agency/airline ticket office to the airline's central database? How different was it on the airline side, aside from handling more paper, of course? |
Dunno.
But they haven't been totally phased out. I have paper tickets in hand for an AA TATL I am doing next month. How/why did I get them? I booked a DB rail codeshare from Mannheim.
