You can’t help yourself. Every time that you get on an airplane, you pick up that Sky Mall catalog and flip through it. You convince yourself that you’re just passing the time to relax before you land and get down to business. You tell yourself that you just want to browse the latest gadgets and laugh a little about them. But the next thing you know, you’ve racked up a credit card bill buying an old-fashioned hot dog maker that you probably didn’t need.

Sometimes you wish you were psychic. For example, when you’re looking at airline tickets and trying to guess whether they’re going to go up or down, a crystal ball would come in handy.

Some travelers still don’t feel comfortable without that paper ticket in hand, but an e-ticket comes with some extra benefits.
With an e-ticket you can print out your information on paper, if it makes you feel better, but the information stays safely tucked inside the computer’s memory. If you lost your paper ticket then you’d most likely have to pay a small fee to get another copy. If you lose your e-ticket you can simply reprint it from any computer. And security is still maintained as only people with the proper identification can use the e-ticket.
In the long run using an e-ticket may save you money. One airline industry source says the industry could save $3 billion annually if everyone used e-tickets. By doing your part and leaving the paper behind, you’ll not only help the environment, but you’ll also help the airlines save money, which may lead to cheaper tickets overall.
