E-Ticket
Definition: An e-ticket (electronic ticket) is a digital airline ticket stored in the airline’s reservation system, replacing the traditional paper ticket. It is identified by a 13-digit ticket number and linked to your PNR.
E-tickets became mandatory for IATA member airlines in 2008, replacing paper tickets entirely. Your e-ticket exists as a record in the airline’s database, linked to your passport details and PNR. You don’t need to carry a physical ticket — your identity document and PNR are sufficient to check in and board.
The e-ticket receipt (or itinerary receipt) is a document you receive by email confirming your purchase. While not the ticket itself, it contains important information: your 13-digit ticket number, PNR, flight details, fare paid, and fare basis code. This document is useful for immigration purposes, visa applications, and expense reporting.
