1. No, you won't get a printed ticket. Printed tickets haven't been used in years. You will need your passport and probably the credit card that you used to pay for the ticket. You go to one of the checkin kiosks and swipe the credit card and your flight will appear on the screen and you'll make a few selections and your boarding passes will print out then you just take your bags and check them in.
2. just copy email with eticket number on it in case you lose original and take a copy plus passport of course to check-in. cheers paul
3. If you already got an eticket number, then your ticket has already been issued as an electronic ticket, which means there's no paper ticket to send.
4. Hi, the email you got with the number should have all your flight details on it, just print that out and take it with you. Usually the airline can book you in just producing the number, but I'd take the whole email with you to immigration in the US as if they ask to see it and you don't have it, they can send you back home, or keep you there until they contact the airline, but don't worry, a print out of your ticket number with flight details is fine (return needs to be on it, if you are just on holiday). They just check so they know your going to go home. So take a print out of the whole email with you, just incase. If you simply got a number with no flight details on it, I'd contact the airline. But if it has your number and all your flight numbers and dates, this will be your ticket.
5. You usually get 2 separate emails. 1st one confirming your booking (with booking number) 2nd, will be your E-Ticket with number & full flight details. this is the one you should print out and take with you (maybe 2nd copy in your bag for return journey)
