When you book flights, do you get the tickets pretty sharpish or not ?

[CrackerOfNuts]

Booked flights with Ryan air, about a fortnight ago. The flights aren't until Sept, but having never booked any before I don't know if I should have recieved the tickets or anything yet.

The flights that we are taking don't actually start running until June, so I thought maybe thats why we had heard nothing.

Had conformation email of booking and they took the money but thats it.

I flew Ryan air in October and didn't have tickets, just a booking reference number on an email. That should be all you need.

Did you book online?
Quite often you don't get a paper ticket -
just a booking number, and you just need to take the booking number and some ID to the check-in when you go.
Have a look at the small print.

oops - typed too slowly - Rach beat me to it!

Oh really, hadn't realised that at all. Will go and read the small print.

I would somehow feel alot better with ticket in hand i think.

I booked with Virgin and you just get an e-ticket. What does it say at the top of the email? Should say print and take it with you.

As already said on here Ryanair is a ticketless airline, as are most of them nowadys.

You simply check in with your eticket reference number which was isssued when you paid.

You just need to print off your confrimation email that they sent you.

Just checked email and yep it does say to just go along with Ref number and ID to get boarding pass.

Thanks guys, am such a travel novice, I have no clue what I am doing.
