What is a Flight E-Ticket?
An e-ticket or online flight ticket on Trip.com is a digital version of a traditional paper ticket. It is a travel document that you can purchase through Trip.com's website or mobile application. With an e-ticket, you don’t need to print out anything, and all the necessary details are securely stored in the airline's database.
When you book a flight on Trip.com, the e-ticket serves as a contract between you and the airline. Your ticket information is stored securely, which you can access using your PNR (Passenger Name Record) or booking reference number. You can check in and pass through security with just your passport. This makes the boarding process easy and hassle-free!
