What is an Electronic Boarding Pass?

Answer:
An electronic boarding pass, “electronic ticket,”

or simply “e-ticket,” is an airline ticket that you can receive ahead of your departure time. It is possible to print them from your own computer (depending on the airline being used), usually within 24-hours of your departure.

You can also get them at the airline check-in counter, or more commonly from a kiosk (self-service check-in) at the airport.

The benefits of electronic boarding passes are abundant. You can save time by not standing in line to get a boarding pass at the airport, earlier check-in is possible, and you can possibly bypass check-in altogether if your not checking luggage. Check your airline for more information on their specific procedures concerning electronic boarding passes.
