E-tickets are the most popular way of getting tickets these days. It means they are processed electronically, and it gets rid of the need for paper tickets. Paper tickets are becoming archaic, and some airline companies even charge you to have a paper ticket processed for you or sent to you. So, e-tickets are processed electronically. You can just show up at the airport, check in to a kiosk with your credit card or give them your driver's license at the check-in gate, and they're going to process you and know your ticket and flight right there.
