E-Ticket

What is an E-Ticket?

An E-Ticket, short for Electronic Ticket, is a digital travel document that replaces the traditional paper ticket. Once a booking is confirmed, the airline issues the E-Ticket and sends it to the traveler via email or through a travel platform like TripGain. It contains key information such as passenger details, flight numbers, and booking references.

In corporate travel, E-Tickets offer greater convenience, speed, and security. They allow employees to access their flight details from mobile devices, make faster check-ins, and avoid the risks of losing paper tickets. For travel managers, E-Tickets streamline expense reporting and auditing processes.

Most airlines today exclusively use E-Tickets, making them the standard in business travel. Integrating E-Tickets into your travel and expense system ensures a seamless travel experience and better tracking of employee movements and costs.
