How to check a ticket reservation by ticket number?

To begin with, let's go through the first steps of the very concept of "electronic ticket" and highlight its features for beginners.

What is the essence of an electronic ticket (e-ticket)?

This document is a contract that certifies the agreement on air carriage between the passenger and the airline.

Many airlines such as Aeroflot, Pobeda, UTair, Turkish Airlines, Ozon Travel, Ural Airlines, etc. have official websites on which tickets are sold online.

It differs from the paper one in that it is stored in the electronic database of this company.

The advantages of this type of ticket:

1. The electronic ticket is in the information database of various computer systems, which reduces the risk of its loss and increases security capabilities.
2. There is no longer a need for specific forms for these tickets since all available information is stored on computers and easily transferred to others, if such a need arises.
3. Due to the development of e-commerce, it became possible to pay for the purchase of a ticket through special terminals or the Internet, which reduces the time of future passengers and the organization of the sale of these tickets for airlines.

What does it mean to “check an e-ticket for an airplane”?

When buying electronic books, many citizens ask themselves questions about whether they will be exposed to fraud on the part of the airline and where should they check the air ticket reservation?

If you still do not know absolutely nothing about an electronic ticket, then remember: EB - a document containing your personal data, the current flight, the date of departure and arrival.

Forget about the old paper version you were dealing with in the early 2000s.

Here's a list of facts to check out:

Electronic ticket sales sites

The purchase of electronic securities through the site is much faster than if you contacted a travel agency or went to Sheremetyevo or another airport.

When booking a ticket on the website, you get all the information in an extremely detailed method. They will tell you about all the possible flights that the company is able to offer on this route.

There are a huge number of sites, and they often differ from each other in special cases:

• Interface;
• Quick search field;
• The very mechanism for selecting proposals;
• The amount of the service fee;
• Payment method.

The capabilities of this or that site are constantly different, which in some aspects limits or narrows the available solutions for the user.

Examples of several sites for purchasing profitable air tickets from Russia: aviasales.ru, skyscanner.ru.

To review the relevance of our electronic book, you always need to know about the booking code. So what is it?

KB is an alphanumeric code that consists of six characters.

It is marked on the ticket or the itinerary receipt in the line with the words “BOOKING DATA”. As usual, in English, the booking code has a slightly different form.

• Naturally, the company in which you booked your ticket has hot line. By dialing the desired number, you will be confronted with an operator who will require a means of communication and a reservation number from you. If no incidents happened, he will inform you about the existence of such armor and the coordinates of your flight.
• Also an easier way would be checking your reservation online.

How to use them?

In two steps:

1. Go to any of the above sites
2. A table will open in front of you, where you need to enter the reservation number and your last name (if you are going abroad, then write the last name as it appears in your passport).

Once logged in, you will see all the information about your flight, flight status and passengers. You should also print your e-ticket.

It is quite possible that you only have an electronic ticket in your hands, without a reservation code, then you should go to a special website: OneTwoTrip (https://secure.onetwotrip.com/ticket/)

If you have booked a tour through a travel agency, then, in theory, it is he who needs to inform you about the site on which the check can be carried out.

How can I check the status of a flight?

It would also not hurt to add separately that in these systems you can also check whether your flight will take place or not.

Be sure to check this before you travel. It is possible that the reseller from whom you bought the ticket may forget to inform you that the flight was canceled at the last minute, due to a storm warning, for example.

Of course, this will not be very flattering on his part, but, more and more often, for an additional fee, the services for the sale of electronic securities themselves, in which case, notify you about it.

If the flight status is confirmed, then everything is fine and it will take place. If not confirmed, then immediately contact your airline or the intermediary from whom you bought this ticket.

So be extremely careful as if you have refused to send these announcements, then get ready to manually check the status of the flight.

What if there is a mistake in filling out the passenger information?

There are a number of steps to take when you make a mistake in filling out the data.

An incorrect surname is a very serious mistake, so you should contact the appropriate agency (intermediary) where you purchased your electronic security as soon as possible, or directly to the airline itself.

It's just that there is such a possibility that under some circumstances you will not be able to correct the incorrectly typed last name, then you will simply be denied access on board.

If you made a mistake in writing your email or passport details, this is not too critical. This information can be changed in the same place, at the airline or at the agency.

In general, this operation is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. You need to call the airline and clarify the details of changing the passport data, transfer the new data to them and request an electronic ticket again.

You will spend not much time on it, and the result will fully justify itself.

Perhaps you have confused the date or route of the flight - then, if you purchased a business class flight, the airline will easily change everything for you. But if you have booked a seat in economy class, then the company can change your date or route only at its discretion.

Most often, cheap tickets are not subject to revision, in rare cases the airline agrees to change the data only at an additional cost.

Fewer mistakes at the start and a successful flight!
