drawback:
The electronic airline ticket, or e-ticket,is here to stay. An e-ticketnever gets lost—all you need toboard your flight is the credit cardyou used to buy it and photo ID. If a flight is delayed or canceled,e-ticket holders usually have tostand in line to get a paper ticket toexchange for use on another airline,although better technology is helpingto solve this problem. If you still likethe comfort of having a paper ticket,you may have to pay extra; many carriersnow add $10 or $15 to the fareif you ask for a paper ticket, andsome airlines have announced theywill stop issuing paper tickets entirelywithin a year.
