How to Get an Electronic Air Ticket

Thanks to modern technology, people can receive their tickets or boarding passes through the website of the airline they are flying with and print out their electronic ticket at home. The printed boarding pass is then taken to the departing gate and is scanned by a airline attendant. This cuts time wasted waiting in long lines at the check-in counter to receive your boarding pass at the airport.
