E-Ticket: Three Advantages

Save time for ticket delivery and ticket collection.

The reporter learned that if passengers choose e-tickets, they can make reservations through websites, telephones and airlines. After paying through online banking, they can bring their certificates to the counter of the airport and check in directly. ?

It turns out that passengers need to place an order by phone or online, and then wait for the ticket to be delivered or picked up at home, pay for it, and then check in with the ticket. ?

There is nothing to lose.

Because e-tickets have no entity, passengers only need to remember their own itinerary. In order to prevent passengers from forgetting, some airlines and ticket agency websites will accurately inform customers by sending text messages and emails after each booking. As long as passengers remember the airline and departure time, they can check in with the documents, and there is no problem of loss. ?

Reservations are not limited by the venue.

Ordering paper tickets requires waiting for delivery, and tickets can only be bought in a fixed place. For remote places where tickets cannot be delivered, or in a short time before the check-in counter closes, tickets cannot be successfully collected, but e-tickets can avoid such embarrassment. ?

Yesterday (15), the reporter learned that Ctrip and You Yi, the top two ticket agents in e-ticket sales this year, accounted for about 80% of the total ticket sales. According to the latest statistics of China International Airlines, e-ticket sales only account for 20% of its total business. ?

Network security has become a problem.

It is understood that passengers can purchase through the online payment systems of ICBC, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank, China Construction Bank, China Merchants Bank, Bank of Beijing, Huaxia Bank, Minsheng Bank, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and Shenzhen Development Bank. "If the ID card is stolen during the online card collection process, the money in the passenger bank card is in danger of being hollowed out." Relevant people said that this is also the biggest problem. ?

System docking needs to be solved urgently

E-ticket systems of airlines do not match, which makes it difficult to promote e-tickets. "Airlines have their own e-tickets, and so do various agencies. Even if everyone uses BSP e-tickets, the services will be inconsistent, and the final settlement will also produce wrangling. " The executive of a ticket agent of a large domestic airline believes that the urgent task is to solve the problem of system docking. ?
