Yowman Posted March 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) So my cruise is still 6 months out and I've noticed that I have etickets issued for both my outbound and inbound flights. Is it normal to have etickets issued this far in advance of travel? ETA: I have EZ Air flexible tickets so I have not paid for them yet Edited March 30, 2023 by Yowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreaminofcruisin Posted March 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Not exactly sure what an eticket is, but on some airlines, you will see the EZ air tickets on your Frequent Flyer app. For instance, I usually fly Delta and I have 3 cruises booked: August, October and February 2024. All of them showed up on my Delta app within minutes of booking. If I cancel, they will disappear..... If they cancel the flight, I will need to rebook thru EZ Air on Princess.

kiwimum Posted March 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Our EZAir booking for August to LHR is also showing as ticketed. Numbers have been showing for a couple of weeks. Flight is 140 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Musky Ike Posted March 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I noticed earlier than usual ticketing also. I presume it is a fix to the issues they had during the restart where flights were cancelled for some because EZAir did not ticket them in time, but don't know for sure.

beg3yrs Posted March 30, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I have personally seen this in the past as well. Don't know what the criteria is to get an airline reservation ticketed though. We generally travel AA and have had some flights ticketed early but recently they get ticketed 45 days or less to flight time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coo359a2 Posted March 30, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2023 My 31 May EZair reservation (flexible) has had an Eticket number since Jan. The return flight on 8 July (just now paid cruise in full) does not yet have an Eticket number. TA surprised a Eticket number was issued so far out for my 31 May flight.

Retirement2016 Posted March 31, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I noticed an e-ticket on our flight on Air Canada for our August Alaska cruise. I entered the 10 digit number into Air Canada website. It came back "ticket number is 13 digits". At least the booking number comes up with our reservation!

Perhaps adding that to the 10 digit number you have will provide additional information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finsfan2023 Posted March 31, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Has anyone been able to upgrade their seats? We are flying from Seattle to Orlando on the red eye and want to upgrade to first class. I just finished a chat with Alaska Airlines and they said it wasn't ticketed. Our flight is in September, just wondering if it is possible with EZ Air. Any input is greatly appreciated!

If your frequent flyer number is on your EZAir booking, the flight(s) will show in your upcoming reservations on the airline's app or website, whether the reservation is ticketed or not.

PrincessBuffy Posted March 31, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 31, 2023 My Outbound tickets were ticketed months in advance. Inbound however it took Princess until just under 30 days to pay for them. Booked same day but were on 2 different airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, we have found that there really his no real.discount in booking with EZAir for domestic flights, but there is quite a difference with international flights.

aForestr Posted April 2, 2023 #20 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Booked through EZAir a flight from LHR to SEA in mid June on AA. On the AA web site it shows that the flight has been ticketed, but I can not find an eTicket number. Have the tickets been paid for by EZAir yet? We lost our seats a year ago because EZAir had not paid for the tickets and the resevation was cancelled. EZAir rebooked us from London to Istanbul to SFO. We took a pass on that offer.
