R.I.P. Paper Airline Tickets
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 06.02.08 | 10:58 AM ET
The 240 airlines belonging to the International Air Transport Association, which represents 94 percent of the world’s airline traffic, officially went digital yesterday. Most U.S. airlines had already made the switch to electronic tickets years ago, but paper tickets had remained in use by many international carriers. The IATA projects that all-digital ticketing will save $3 billion a year in costs—as well as 50,000 trees. Perhaps all the savings will allow them to bring back free snacks.
