Goodbye paper tickets, hello e-tickets!

According to IATA CEO and Director General Giovanni Bisignani:

"If you have a paper ticket, it's time to donate it to a museum. As of June 1, IATA will no longer supply paper ticket stock to 60,000 travel agencies in 125 countries around the world as it has done for decades."

Read the full report at USA Today and the IATA press release.
