| An
airline ticket is a document, created by an airline or a travel
agency, to confirm that an individual has purchased a seat on a
flight on an aircraft. This document is then used to obtain a
boarding pass, at the airport. Then with the boarding pass and the
attached ticket, the passenger is allowed to board the aircraft.
It is now common for a traveler to pay a fee, assessed by the
airline company, for a paper ticket. In fact, many airlines no
longer issue paper tickets. IATA has announced, that as of June 1,
2008, IATA-member airlines will no longer issue any paper
tickets.[1]
A ticket is generally only good on the airline for which it was
purchased. However, an airline can endorse the ticket, so that it
may be accepted by other airlines, sometimes on standby basis or
with a confirmed seat. Usually the ticket is for a specific flight.
It is also possible to purchase an 'open' ticket, which allows
travel on any flight between the destinations listed on the ticket.
The cost for doing this is greater than a ticket for a specific
flight. Some tickets are refundable. However, the lower cost tickets
are usually not refundable and may carry many additional
restrictions. A ticket is made up of one or more flight coupons. In
the old paper ticket system, these flight coupons were the actual
tickets that were used for travel. One flight coupon was used for
each leg of the flight.
The carrier is represented by a standardized 2-letter code. In the
example above, Thai Airways is TG. The departure and destination
cities are represented by International Air Transport Association
airport codes. In the example above, Munich is MUC and Bangkok is
BKK. The International Air Transport Association is the standard
setting organization.
Only one person can use a ticket. If multiple people are traveling
together, the tickets are linked together by the same record locator
or reservation number, which are assigned, if the tickets were
purchased at the same time. If not, most airlines can connect the
tickets together in their reservation systems. This allows all
members in a party to be processed in a group, allowing seat
assignments to be together (if available at the time of the
assignment).
