Having your flight tickets delivered through the post appears to be a thing of the past.The airline that we use now issues flight tickets via email (e-ticket)
We are due to go on holiday in just over 2 weeks time but thought I should have received our e-tickets by now.
I telephoned the airline to find out when to expect them.They informed me that the e -tickets had been emailed to me last month.I explained that I had not yet received them.I asked if they could confirm my email address by reading it back to me.The email address was wrong as a result of a letter missing from my name.
Under normal circumstances when you send an email in which the email address is wrong,it would normally bounce back to the sender with a failed delivery report.
The system that this airline uses and maybe standard with most other airlines does not have this feature.They use some sort of ticketing system that doesn't register email sending failures.
So if you are waiting for your e-tickets and a bit concerned that they haven't arrived, it might be worth a quick phone call to your airline or travel agent just to ensure they have the correct email address.The email address only works if its 100% correct.
