Whats the process of getting my Orbitz Plane Ticket?

Question

I bought my ticket from Washington to Japan, but it says on Orbitz its not a paper ticket. When I get to the airport, how do I get my ticket? My flight is through United Airlines. I'm just a bit confused on how to do this.

Answer 1

Ticketing is now commonly done as an electronic process.  All the necessary information that used to be on a paper ticket, including your name,  is now in the airline's computer.  All you have to do is present your passport at the check-in counter, and they will call up your booking.  You should take the printout of your itinerary (reservation) with you, but it's highly unlikely that they will even ask to see it.
