The use of Iberia’s paperless e-tickets soared in January, growing by more that 33%, and accounting for 93% of all Iberia tickets sold in the month, as compared to just 70% in December. This growth reflects Iberia’s push to make e-tickets available for flights to all its destinations and for those in combination with other airlines. Dakar is the latest Iberia destination for which paperless, theft-proof e-tickets may be purchased. The tickets are also available for travel combining Iberia flights with those of Mexicana de Aviacion and Air France.
E-tickets are simply entries in an electronic database. They can be purchased in the traditional manner, by telephone, or from Iberia’s web site at any time or day or night. They can also be modified by a single telephone call. Instead of a paper ticket, passengers are issued a code number which they must present at the airport along with their identification.
Today the e-ticket can be used for all domestic Iberia destination, including the Madrid-Barcelona Puente Aereo air shuttle—and for 55 destinations around the world. Conventional tickets are needed for just eleven destinations (in Morocco, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, and some Italian and Swiss cities).
Thanks to new agreements, Iberia customers can purchase e-tickets for travel combining Iberia flights with those of Air France and Mexicana de Aviacion. E-tickets can also be used on flights involving Iberia and one or more of its oneworld partners (American Airlines, British Airways, LAN Chile, Qantas, Finnair, Cathay Pacific, and Aer Lingus).
