Tickets for my first UC flight have been emailed, have to admit I do miss the paper tickets you used to get through the post, first choice used to do a 'cheque book' style ticket book

Now once you've turned left you'll not want to go back! Enjoy

Oh yes I remember those thin passenger tickets, with lots of printed information which seems to make no sense. The wad of papers got thinner each time you checked in and by the end there was just one flimsey little paper ticket left. Like you say it was a 'cheque book' style ticket which came in a Company wallet. It always amazed me that we had to pay for a flight so many months in advance but had to wait until the last few weeks for the 'real' tickets to arrive by the post. Always an axious time in case they didn't arrive, along with the car voucher. Good old days, long since gone!!!

I hoard travel memorabilia and I found some of those tickets from Virgin dated 2002 and some from US Airways dated 2004. So E ticketting hasn't been around that long. I also love to look back at the late 80's and 90's guide maps I kept for the Disney, Universal & Sea World parks to see how they have changed compared to the parks of today.

Enjoy your travels.

But it's like a perpetual motion machine. Spend more on the credit card, get more miles, buy more flights, spend more.......
Sadly still more than 200 days until I park my bum on 6A
