airline ticket

Proof of passage

An airline ticket is a document—now usually electronic—that confirms a passenger's reservation on a commercial flight and serves as proof of purchase.

It contains essential travel information including the passenger's name, flight numbers, departure and arrival times, and seat assignment.

I printed my airline ticket at home before heading to the airport.

The physical paper ticket has largely been replaced by e-tickets, though the term persists regardless of format.
