Question about paper tickets
Feel free to move this as I'm not sure where to post this. Are there any airlines in the USA that still have the option of getting a paper ticket as opposed to electronic tickets? If so does the customer have to pay extra?

AA issues paper tickets for free when e-ticketing is not available for some reason (very rare), and for a fee otherwise. Forget the fee amount but it is reasonable, about USD 20 or 25. I think all of the major airlines have a similar policy and fee.
