Dubai becomes 55th E-destination on SWISS network

Felix Rodel, Area Manager Arabian Gulf, Pakistan and Iran, Swiss International Air Lines, said: "Both the travel industry and passengers are evolving rapidly, and we need to keep pace the new innovations. E-ticketing allows passengers the convenience or paperless ticketing and an ease on check-in at the airport, making the overall experience user-friendly and flexible."

Booking e-tickets can be done via the Internet, over the phone or through the SWISS office Dubai, however e-ticket dispenses with the need for the more traditional printed ticket. SWISS will issue receipts for the ticket, either by post, fax or email, which are the only thing required for check-in at Dubai International Airport. Alternately, passengers who mislay their receipt can simply present they passport as proof of identification in order to collect their boarding.

E-ticket with SWISS is available at 55 destinations around the world, including countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. Passengers travelling to Zurich and beyond to any of SWISS' 53 other e-ticket destinations can avail of the service, however other destinations not included on the e-ticket service will still require the ticket coupon to be issued via a travel agent or through the SWISS office in Dubai.
