How to Claim an Air Ticket

The days of paper airline tickets are long behind. With rare exception, airlines today issue eTickets or electronic passes for your travel. Claiming your air ticket is done at the airport with the airline's desk staff, at the airline's kiosks or online. Bring your confirmation code and a picture identification to claim your travel ticket.
