"E-ticket not available"
I was booking my son's return trip to DEN after his Navy training, and his duty station in SAN. Since he's stopping over in DEN, I had to book two one-way tickets. One from PNS (snicker) to DEN, and one from DEN to SAN. I would up on CO on the DEN leg and F9 on the SAN leg. When I went to pay, Expedia told me that the e-ticket was not available, and they had to issue paper tickets. I haven't had a paper ticket in 8 years.
What caused this?

Let me add more info.
The PNS-DEN is on 1 Sept, and the DEN-SAN is on 16 Sept. I would assume that they "look" like two unrelated one-way tickets.
I'll try and book them separately, and see what happens. If I did that, it would double my 9/11 and facility fee.
However, Expedia wants $20 for the least expensive ticket delivery method.

I just booked each ticket individually, on the CO and F9 websites. I was able to e-ticket each one, and the prices were the same as the combined ticket. ^
