The traveler booked his flight as used in the travel agency, call center or over Internet. As identification proof many flier maps of an airline, credit cards or an official photo document of identification can be used. The map/document of identification number is assigned to the reservation. Contrary to paper tickets at the time of the reservation only the payment and reservation are completed. The exhibition of on-board map takes place only before the takeoff at the check in automat or at the check in switch in the airport. A paper ticket is not no more provided.
