Make Sure Your Flight Reservation is Ticketed Before You Travel

Don't you think if you'd never been charged you might wonder if you actually had a flight.
 
Never heard of getting a confirmation number, then a separate email with a ticket #. Once I receive conf# upon booking, its a done deal. Is is a Euro-thing?
 
You get one confirmation number for each booking, but a different ticket # for each passenger. Make sure every passenger has a ticket number, although I've always received them all in the first email. I book many months ahead, and check about once a month for changes. There's almost always a change when booking flights to Hawaii.
 
95% of my flying is on Alaska Airlines. The confirmation email includes both the six-character code and the ticket number.
 
It happens! British Airways is a big offender. This also sometimes occurs when you fly on a partner airline using miles. In fact, i have seen this on one of my reservations several years ago.

The article is trying to be helpful and proactive. Just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Not always quite as straightforward as some of the responses suggest. If you book directly with the airline, your confirmation email will show ticket numbers. However, if you book through a third party you might not see ticket numbers. I just checked on a trip that we are taking as part of a tour We had the tour company make the flight arrangements. Looking at their confirmation email there is no ticket number. I did go to the airline and using the confirmation code, the airline says we are ticketed, but still no number. I am not panicking. We have done this a number of times and never had any difficulty.

We've had this happen when we book the ticket through a cruise line. The tickets are reserved, but the cruise line hasn't paid yet. They don't pay the airlines until you pay the full price of the cruise. I ran into it because I wanted to upgrade the seats to economy comfort through the airline. I couldn't do that until I paid the balance of the cruise and the cruise line paid the airline. Once that happened, I was able to upgrade to economy comfort.
