What is e-ticket?
It is a ticket that you do not carry with you. You make reservations and pay in the usual way. You do not have to go to the Representative Office or to the Agency to pick it up. You go straight to the airport. During check in, you go to the counter and present you identification documents and you will immediately get a boarding pass, which serves you to board the aircraft.
It is also important to stress that electronic ticket means, besides time saving, another way of savings from the passenger's aspect. Namely, the costs of prepaid will no longer be charged (pre-paid, PTA). If somebody else pays the ticket for you, after the payment is made, it is enough that you come to the airport and check in.
Therefore, the use of electronic ticket is very practical, and the procedure of its purchase and use are very quick and simple.
