  1. Nowadays, all ticketing happens through a network of computer-based reservation system.
    What is a ticket?
    An airline ticket is a document, created by an airline or a travel agency to confirm that an individual has purchased a seat on an airplane flight.
    What is an E ticket?
    A ticket issued electronically and stored in a computer system.
    In the past airlines still issued paper ticket. Since June 2008, electronic ticket became mandatory for IATA members.
    The advantages of this electronic ticket that is 10% cheaper than the paper ticket. Also it’s very flexible which is can be changed easily, for example you can change the flight also you can refund it and get your money back. It can’t be lost because it’s already stored in the reservation system so you don’t have to worry of losing it. Also it’s very useful for the passengers and the airlines because it saves time and airlines saved a lot of money, it cost only $1 but on the other hand the paper ticket cost $10.
    In the future will be a common self serving model where passenger will book purchase and issue their tickets and even boarding passes without any assistance.

  7. These days you can book a ticket for any destination from the comfort of your home while you are watching TV or drinking mug of tea. You can purchase a ticket by the new booking computer reservation system .It is not a normal ticket it is an E-ticket.


    What is an E-ticket?

    It is a ticket that issued electronically and stored in a computer reservation system (CRS) which is used for the reservation of a specific airlines but the (GDS)Global Distribution System used by travel agencies to purchase tickets for customaries on different airlines .


    E-ticket has many advantages like when you buy a ticket by computer it will be 10% cheaper than you buy it from an agency .All so it is flexible that you can change it any time and you will not be wary to lose it and you save time that for passengers.
    For airlines they will save more many if customers use the reservation system .The airline spend 10$ for issue a ticket by one of their branches but if the customer use the computer system the airline will save 9$ because the e-ticket cost them only 1$.The disadvantage for e-ticket on my opinion is only one that the airlines will reduce their agency and the will fire the employs.
    In the future there will be self servicing model where the passengers will purchase their tickets and they will take the boarding passes without any help.

  10. Ticketing

    Nowadays, reservation of the ticket is more convenient than in the past. In the past, airlines issued paper tickets for passengers, but now travellers can reserve their tickets throught the reservation system online. Both passengers and airlines are benefit from that computer based system which make their tasks fewer. However, it could be harmful for some individuals.

    The electronic ticket is a ticket issued electronically and stored in a computer restriction system. Tickets include many important information including: names of travellers,flight time, and the type of the airplane. These information and more are provided in the receipt that is sended to the passengers mails after booking tickets online. That receipt have to be carried by the travellers on departing day while they are checking-in because it indicates that the passengers funded for the ticket. This reservation system is mandatory from 2008 for IATA members.

    Electronic ticketing is useful for passengers and airlines. First, passengers can change some data easily. For example, they can change their seats and the time of the flight. Also, travellers have not to worry about losing their booking because it will be saved in the booking system. Moreover, this service is available at anytime withcheaper prices. Then, airlines will protect the environment by using few amounts of papers. As a result, they will save a lot of money.

    Electronic ticketing might be careless for reservation office personnel. Thus, many people will be layed off. In addition, electronic ticketing lead to the redundancy of travel agents from the reservation system.Therefore, each system will have it’s own reservations list.

    In the future, there will be self self-serving model which allows passengers to reserve and purchase for the tickets and get their boarding pass from anywhere they are sitting. Also, paper tickets might not be printed any more.

  13. Nowadays, all working and ticketing happens through a network of computer-based reservations systems, it’s called ((e –ticketing)) and it mean a ticket issued electronically and stored in a computer reservation system. It’s containing data such as the ticket number, the ticket price or exchange rate information.

    E –ticket has many advantages and for that it becomes popular. For example it’s cheaper from paper ticket you take it from travel agency or airlines. Also you don’t have to be worry to lose it and it more convenient.
    Airlines can saves their money and be environmentally friendly.
    However just redundancy of travel agents is the only problem they will face it because there will be many employees without job.

    May be after ten or fifteen years there will no need for employees and then self-servicing model will be available that passengers will book purchase issue their tickets and even boarding passes.
