KLM opens up e-ticketing to all

Dutch carrier KLM has announced that passengers flying to all of its destinations can now take advantage of its e-ticketing scheme.

E-tickets can be used on flights to any of its 124 destinations and with its 72 interline partners, the airline said.

Those holding e-tickets will only have to show the relevant identity documents at check-in because the data on the tickets is stored on the carrier's database during the reservation process.

KLM also said that it is aiming to issue e-tickets only from January 1st 2008. Currently, 89 per cent of all of its tickets are electronic.

"An e-ticket cannot be lost or stolen, because it is always safely listed under the passenger's name in our computer systems. Soon everyone will travel on an e-ticket, regardless of whether they buy it online or via a travel agency," commented Martijn van der Zee, vice president of distribution and e-commerce for KLM.

KLM offers flights from London to destinations such as Amsterdam, Chicago, Cairo, Dubai and Tokyo.
