RIP paper tickets

[KeithMEL]

June 1st marked the coming into force of the IATA e-ticketing mandate. With it signals the end of paper ticketing (with a small number of exceptions).

I am still in possession of 2 DONE4s which are not only paper ticketed but also handwritten. I will be sure to keep them safe - they might be worth something 50 years later on Ebay.

The International Air Transport Association reached a milestone this weekend when its 230 member airlines officially killed off the paper airline ticket from June 1 and switched to 100 per cent e-ticketing.

"An era has ended," IATA director general Giovanni Bisignani said over the weekend. "If you have a paper ticket, it's time to donate it to a museum."

I still have several paper tickets. No I won't be donating to a museum - they are for future travel.

Besides which, I am still sceptical I really have been issued my last paper ticket. There are still lots of itineraries that are non-eticketable.

Yes, indeed there are still destinations non-e-ticketable as well as the non-communicable-e-tix.
No, I don't have any paper tix at the moment.
