When travelling with E Tickets on VS do you just hand over your passports and quote your reference when you arrive at the desk?
From the VS FAQ:
Q What are e-tickets?
A We're getting rid of paper tickets on selected routes:
Between the UK and US
Between the UK and Japan
From the UK to South Africa
From the UK to Hong Kong and Shanghai
Book one of these flights on this site and all your details will be stored electronically and we'll email (and fax if a fax number has been provided) you a receipt containing your booking reference and flight details.
All you need to do is bring this receipt with you when you check in - all your details will be there already.
What could be easier? And there are a host of benefits:
No more lost, misplaced or even stolen tickets.
Faster check in - all passenger details are ready and waiting.
You can change your flight shortly before departure (subject to availability and charges may apply; you must go to the ticket desk at the airport of departure to confirm any changes).
It's a more environmentally conscious way of operating, with far less paper being used up.
And don't worry if you arrive at the airport without your receipt, just ask a member of staff at one of our ticket desks and they'll look up your booking reference for you and can print you a new receipt if needed.
HTH
Cheers
