I booked a flight through Yahoo! Travel - do I print my e-ticket? How does this work?

Question

What are your experiences with Yahoo!Travel

What do I do about an infant car seat?

Answer 1

Pack the carseat. Print your ticket.

Answer 2

That's two questions. :-)

Usually yahoo travel sells e-tickets. You should print your itinerary from yahoo travel. Most airlines let you print your boarding pass from your e-ticket 24 hours before departure. You simply go to the airline's website and enter your record locater and/or last night and other flight information, and print it one your home computer's printer. You should get a frequent flyer number for the airline Yahoo sold you the ticket on, and call the airline to associate your reservation with your frequent flyer number. Then you'll be able to look at your reservation on the airline's website (depending on the airline), and it will be easier/faster to find your reservation when printing your boarding pass.

Alternatively, you can go to the airport and get your boarding pass a few hours before flight either at a check in desk or a self serve kiosk. The problem with that approach is that if the flight has been canceled or oversold and you don't have a boarding pass or seating assignment you are lower priority for being rebooked. Plus, if a flight has been canceled, you might not be able to print a boarding pass on the kiosk, and be forced to deal with the airline desk that is before security (which will be a long line if a flight has been canceled). You are much better off dealing with the airline desks on the other side of security: the ratio of airline employees to customers is much better on the other side of security.

The other advantage of a frequent flyer number is that even someone with no history with the airline who has a frequently flyer number is likely to be treated better by the airline then someone who has no frequent flyer number. The airline reasons that you are more likely to be a repeat customer than the customer with no frequent flyer number.

So print your boarding pass at home as soon as your airline lets you!

My experiences with Yahoo travel have been excellent.

Answer 3

just print out the bill or the email that shows your customer number . you get your boarding card at the airport from your airline. if you don't have a printer write your order number /customer number down . it is also enough
