Voice of Travelers to Panama
Electronic ticket instead of paper ticket to Panama
Hello, I am Suzan from Mexico. I have good friends from Panama and I have lived in Panama for 3 years. I want to tell you about my trips to Panama with electronic ticket and paper ticket. I always used to use a paper ticket instead of an electronic ticket, until last time when it was cheaper for me to get an e-ticket instead. Everything is not as easy as it seems when using an electronic ticket. When you have a paper ticket, you just keep that ticket and then show it and enter the plan, while ordering an electronic ticket is more complex. You need to have a paper to prove your electronic ticket, which takes more time. During my last trip to Panama, when I was using an electronic ticket, I lost a lot of time at the airport. Yes I enjoyed my trip to Panama, because the airline was good (it was Air Castilla). I always try to organize my trips to Panama with this airline. And I advise everyone to have a paper ticket instead of electronic ticket as it’s much quicker.
