e-ticket Source: wikipedia Travel 2.0 , was used as early as December 2003 on a posting on the Planeta Web 2.0 Discussion Forum and is an offshoot of the Web 2.0 phenomenon.

An electronic ticket or e-ticket is used to represent the purchase of a seat on a passenger airline , usually through a website or by telephone although purchase through airline ticket offices or travel agencies can also get you an e-ticket.
