What is electronic ticketing?
Electronic Ticketing (E-Ticketing) is a simple and convenient ticketing service that stores your reservations and the flight coupons of your ticket on Singapore Airlines’ database. There is no paper ticket to misplace, lose, or forget. E-Ticketing is available up to the commencement of flight check-in (usually 3 to 6 hours before flight departure). If you need a receipt of your E-Ticket, you can print it from the Booking Confirmation page. We recommend that you print a receipt of your booking in case you need to show proof of purchase to Immigration or any other third party.
Ticketless travel, also know as electronic ticketing, is the electronic production of flight coupons. The actual flight coupon will be electronically stored in the airline computer reservation system instead of being printed on paper ticket stock. Very simply, it is a “paperless” ticketing system.
Rather than printing a paper ticket, a computer record advising the airline your ticket has been purchased is created and instantly delivered to the airline(s) with all payment information included. This ticket record is stored in the airline’s computer system. At the time of booking, you will receive a confirmation of your purchase as well as a follow-up confirmation e-mail detailing your booking. When you check-in for your flight, you only need to present a printed copy of your reservation (obtainable from our site) or your e-mail confirmation and photo ID to airline personnel. They will access your ticket record on-line and issue your boarding pass. Electronic ticketing makes the overall travel experience less stressful for you. There is no need to worry about forgetting, losing or not receiving your paper ticket. Most airlines charge a $100 lost ticket fee. All itinerary changes can be made over the phone without the need of returning your original ticket for reissue. In addition,
An electronic ticket (e-ticket) requires no paper ticket. The confirmation/itinerary that you receive upon payment of your reservation is your proof of ticketing. Bring both your confirmation/itinerary and a photo I.D. to the airport when checking in for your flight to receive your boarding pass. The benefit of an e-ticket is that it cannot be lost or stolen.
