[accordion-item title=”What is an e-ticket, and how do I use one?”]

Electronic tickets, or e-tickets, are offered by many major airlines and allow you to travel without a paper ticket, eliminating the worry of leaving your tickets behind.
An e-ticket confirms your airline ticket purchase without requiring a paper record; the only record of an e-ticket sale is in electronic form in the airline’s computer system.
When you buy e-tickets with Laos Paradise Travel, you receive a confirmation of your purchase via email or a copy of electronic ticket receipt by mail.
