About E-Tickets


What is an "E" Ticket?

It is an Electronic Ticket issued by the Airline at the airport in the form of a boarding card, you will not receive a ticket from us before you go to your departure Airport. 

What do I need to obtain my "E" Ticket?

You will need photo ID and at least one of the following:

  • Airline Booking Reference.

  • Credit Card you used as payment.

  • Flight Number & Name.

  • Airline Frequent Flyer Card providing the number is in the booking.

Where do I get my "E" ticket?

  • Only at the Airport by using the "E" Machines prominently located in the departure terminals.

  • Collecting from the "Ticket & Sales Desk" of the Airline you are travelling on.

Where do I check in my luggage?

Most airlines have a fast drop luggage area once you have obtained your boarding card from the machine. If you choose the traditional method of check in at the allocated check-in desk your luggage will be taken in the normal way. 

What do I do if the machine is out of order or does not issue my boarding card?

Go the Airlines Ticket & Sales desk located in the terminal.

Where do I go once I have obtained my boarding card & checked in my luggage?

Proceed to the departure lounge / gate number indicated on you boarding card.

Where do I get my return or onward "E" Ticket?

Your return or onward ticket will be available at your departure terminal for each flight; follow the same process as before.

What if "E" Tickets aren't available for my itinerary?

*There is a £10 fee per person per booking. This low charge is possible due to the automated process we have invested in heavily - but the booking will still be quality checked by our experienced consultants before despatching your tickets.

Some airlines don't yet offer E-tickets.  To check, double click the flight number of your search results, E-Ticket routes are indicated by "ET/ ELECTRONIC TKT CANDIDATE".

In order to electronically ticket an itinerary, all of the flights in the itinerary must be eligible for electronic ticketing and must be on the same airline.
