Answer 1

You should be fine. Once you have that e-ticket all you do is show up at the airport with an ID and with that confirmation e-mail and it should be okay.

Answer 2

nah, sounds like everything you did was right, if you have an e-ticket you can go to one of those kiosks they have at the airports and have it print out there, or just let them know when you check in, it should be in their computers. You can also print out your e-ticket, they also accept those. Just make sure you arrive early enough to check and pay the extra fees for carry-on luggage, and arrive early anyway just in case any problems arise, but like I said b4, to be sure, just print out your e-ticket at home.

Answer 3

You did nothing wrong.. That's how online reservation system works. All you need either bring a printout of the conformation email or the confirmation number to the airport when you check in. You can do a self check in at a kiosks or just go to the counter.

You can check your itineraries here:

Click on my itineraries, then guess access and enter your conformation number and last name. It should display your info.

or here is united customer service numbers:

Domestic

1-800-United-1 (1-800-864-8331)

Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

International

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Hi Sydney,

I'm a regular user of United (about 120 flights in the last 4 years, I think).

Everything is OK. Just make sure that you take the following documents with you to the airport:

Credit card you used to pay.

Identity (passport if international)

Your reservation number (just in case, probably won't need it)

Arrive two hours before flight and go straight to United check in.

At check in (and you can do this either at a machine or personally) you just produce your identity documents and your boarding pass will be printed there and then. I've only once had a problem and we got it sorted well before the flight. Every other time worked perfectly.

Blessed be.

P.S. If you're not saving the miles, can I have them please?

Answer 5

I don't really know stuff like that so I suggest to call the airlines

Answer 6

Check your email. You should recieve your itinerary there, and you can print it at home. Or, write down your conf. # and you can print them at the check in in the airport. Dont stress. I lost my tickets once and had my boarding passes reprinted no problem. Make sure you have your ID and what not.

Answer 7

They should have sent you a printable ticket. But you should definitely call Customer Service ASAP to be 100% sure.

Answer 8

call the Airlines...

They have people who are PAID to help with these kinds of things.

Answer 9

When you check in at the airline's desk simply provide the confirmation # plus identification and they will hand you your boarding pass!

Answer 10

First...Breathe.

Second...Relax.

You've got an electronic ticket (e-ticket).

When you leave, bring your ID and the card you used to pay for the ticket.  If you have luggage you want to check, you can either check in at the ticket counter with a person or check it at an automated machine.  It's 'six of one or a half dozen of the other'.  You done good!  Have a great trip!

Answer 11

An e-ticket is an electronic ticket, which means it's in their system and no paper ticket exists.  

Print out the confirmation letter for your reference.  

You can check in online and print out your boarding pass 24 hours before your flight.  Just go to the UA site and look for online check-in.  

If you prefer not to do that, you can just take your confirmation number to the desk when you get to the airport (bring ID), and they'll issue you your boarding pass.

Answer 13

We fly United all the time.  You shouldn't have any worries.  If you gave them your e-mail address, they will even e-mail you if there are any changes in your schedule.  We recently flew and about a week before our flight, we got an e-mail about United's new luggage policy.  

Enjoy your trip!

Answer 14

like 24 hours before you leave, you could do an online check in at united.com. when you do that it will print out your boarding pass and if you don't have any luggage that needs to be checked in, you can go straight to security at the airport.
