Hi DD
Thanks for the info. Having returned home from the States I'm none the wiser really. Eventually we found someone at the check in desk who sorted our boarding passes out. However, on both sectors we had problems at the gate as they needed the ticket numbers and then had to "associate" them with the booking. Frankly, I'm not convinced that e-tickets are practical at the moment. Fortunately, I had a copy of the ticket numbers on the original email.
regards
