E Tickets

Do i have to print them in colour or will black and white be accepted at the airport? thanks

I've seen this question answered on the websites of several airlines and they've all stated that black-&-white prints are acceptable. (Indeed, I've actually used black-&-white check-in documents, printed in an internet café without a colour printer, myself).

However, since you've not told us which airline you'll be flying with, it's hard for me to absolutely certain that your particular flight operator hasn't got a different rule to everyone else!

Just checked my tickets and they have put mrs against my name and my partners name is wrong way round...i booked yesterday evening and got the email today!! arghh, i am stressed now! Is this gonna be a problem?

[ummmm]

I usually use B&W with no problems. You'll need to check with the airline. Many charge to change tickets.

The Mrs won't be a problem but the partner's name will be.

I can't find anything on the Thomson website about printing in black-&-white but, as I've indicated above, I doubt that it will be a problem. (The bar code is probably the really the important bit and that's black & white anyway!).


>>>they have put mrs against my name

Passports don't show marital status (and your AB profile indicates that you're female) so I can't see why that would be a problem.


>>>my partners name is wrong way round

Oops! Given that airlines now have to notify the passport authorities of the names of everyone who leaves the country, having a ticket and a passport that don't match up might well cause a problem. Get to the airport early and be prepared to be hit with a £90 charge for making the correction:

Well Ryanair changed my boarding pass free of charge. I phoned them, they corrected the mistake and emailed me a new copy.

Get on the phone to Thomsons ASAP and they will sort it(well,they should do),I have had this happen and the travel operator changed it,sent me a new ticket via email.

Sorted. Phoned them this morning and they were so kind and apologised for the mistake and hopefully now sorted it. Will send me new tickets via email today or tomorrow. thanks everyone x I didn't sleep because of worrying last night.
