E-tickets now in use at SWISS systemwide
SWISS customers will be able to travel on an electronic ticket to any SWISS destination from June 1 onwards as the carrier announced. SWISS will offer electronic tickets (e-tickets) for all its services from June 1 onwards. The extended facility should soon make paperless tickets the norm for all travellers throughout the SWISS network.

E-tickets have a host of advantages over their paper equivalents. Not only can an e-ticket not be lost or stolen; it can be sent (electronically) at ultra-short notice. An e-ticket also enables the customer to check-in conveniently online and print out their boarding card at home or on an airport self-check-in machine.

An e-ticket can be easily rebooked and is available wherever the customer is located - eliminating waiting or wondering where the ticket could be. E-tickets can now also be issued for combined bookings with more than a hundred other airlines.

Paper tickets issued before June 1, 2008 can continue to be used up to and including May 31, 2009. Vicky Karantzavelou - Monday, June 02, 2008
