Electronic Tickets

Electronic Tickets — through Global Distribution System (GDS) 

Electronic Ticketing is a method to record the sale of passenger transportation and related services without issuance of paper value documents. Electronic Tickets (ETs) are issued through the Agent's Global Distribution System (GDS) or Ticketing System Provider (TSP).

Electronic Tickets are more convenient for passengers — they no longer have to worry about losing tickets, and changes to itineraries are quicker and more convenient.

Electronic Ticket numbers are supplied automatically by the Agent's GDS/TSP.

As a record of their journey passengers shall be issued with a Passenger Itinerary Receipt (ITR) together with the Mandatory Ticket Notices. Mandatory Ticket Notices are available at the IATA Agenthome web site (www.iata.org/Agenthome) in a number of languages.
