About E-tickets

What is an electronic ticket?

Book your flight as usual online or over the telephone with one of our reservations agents, however your ticket is no longer printed on paper. Instead, it is stored in our reservation system as an electronic ticket or e-ticket. To confirm your reservation, we send you a receipt with an itinerary via e-mail. You can then print out your receipt and carry it with you as a confirmation of your reservation.

What are the advantages of electronic ticketing?

An e-ticket can not be forgotten, misplaced or stolen. When booking simply provide your “Form of ID”- a credit card number which references your reservation and then your ticket is “saved” in our check- in system.

"The Form of ID" is only required for when making a reservation online and not for check-in purposes. If you wish, all passengers in your booking can use the same credit card or Frequent Flyer card as their E-Ticket form of ID (for example, children travelling with adults).

Please NOTE that the form of ID will not be asked for when you check in.
