What Is a Flight E-Ticket?
A flight e-ticket on Trip.com is a digital version of a paper ticket. You can buy it via Trip.com website or app. The main benefits are that you don't need to print it, and all your details are securely stored by the airline.
When you book a flight on Trip.com, the e-ticket acts as a contract between you and the airline. Your ticket information is securely stored and can be accessed using your PNR (Passenger Name Record) or booking reference number. This means you can check in and pass through security with just your passport, making the boarding process simpler.
