Continental to ditch paper tickets - 14-Apr-04.

Continental to ditch paper tickets - 14-Apr-04. Continental Airlines has announced its intention to scrap paper tickets all together by the end of the year.

The airline claims that 95% of domestic customers are already travelling on e-tickets, and 88% of international customers.

A move to 100% e-tickets will reduce loss, theft and paperwork hassles for the airline and its customers according to Continental. Continental says the scrapping of paper tickets will also include multi-carrier interline paper tickets. This means the airline has had to terminate 50 of its 180 interline and baggage agreements with various carriers that don’t have e-ticket capabilities.
