1. Travelocity offers two convenient ticketing options:
  1. Electronic Ticketing -
    • Available only to United States residents.
    • If you request an electronic ticket, you will not receive a ticket in the mail. The airline will access the electronic ticket record when you check-in for your flight.
    • After your tickets have been issued electronically, a copy of your passenger receipt will be available online. A copy of your passenger receipt will no longer be sent by U.S. mail.
    • You must agree to Terms & Conditions of Travel before your tickets can be issued electronically. By selecting "Ticket Electronically" you agree to these Terms and Conditions of Travel.
  2. Delivery by Mail -
    • Available only to residents of the United States and Canada.
    • Paper tickets will be delivered via second day express delivery for only $10.00 . Ticket delivery to street addresses will be done by FedEx. Tickets to P.O. or A.P. O addresses will be delivered via priority mail.
2. Delivery information about tickets sent by mail (or FedEx) is available online once your tickets have been printed. To check on the delivery status of a ticket, go to the My Profile & Plans area of Air Travel and click on "Check on ticket delivery." After logging in, you will be able to access your reservation-review page, which will display your ticket-delivery information at the top of the page. If your ticket has not yet been printed, the information will not appear. Don't worry--Travelocity gives priority to certain tickets, depending on travel dates. Because of this, some tickets can take several hours to be printed. Please try again later. Otherwise, contact our Customer Service Center, using the toll-free numbers listed on your reservation confirmation. Please have your Trip ID available when you call.
3. Our customer service agents are available to assist you should you have a problem with your tickets. Details on contacting our Customer Service Center are provided as part of your reservation confirmation and also included with your ticket.
4. To make changes to your reservations once tickets are issued, please contact the airline or our Customer Service Center for assistance.
5. Electronic Ticketing is a new method of issuing airline tickets. Rather than printing your airline ticket on paper, Travelocity issues a computer record advising the airline your ticket has been purchased. This ticket record is stored in the airline's computer system. When you check-in for your flight, airline personnel access your ticket record on-line and you are on your way.
6. Electronic Ticketing makes the overall travel experience less stressful for you. Making a last minute reservation? No need to wait for a ticket to be delivered to you. Need a change to an existing reservation? There's no need to exchange your ticket. We'll simply update your electronic ticket record. Rushing to the airport? No tickets to leave behind and, better yet, no tickets to lose.
7. Your credit card is billed at the time Travelocity tickets your reservation. The only change with Electronic Ticketing is that a paper ticket is not printed.
8. No. Once your electronic ticket has been processed, a passenger receipt is available online. The receipt will show the amount billed to your credit card. To access your online Electronic Ticketing documents, go to the My Profile & Plans area of Air Travel, and click on "Current Reservations." After logging in, select the appropriate reservation and click on the option titled "View/Print Receipt." Your passenger receipt is available online until your air travel is completed.
9. Electronic Ticketing makes the refund process even easier than it is today. Don't forget, ticket refunds may be subject to restrictions. First, be sure to cancel your airline reservation and print a copy of your passenger receipt, which is available on-line. Then, let us know you'd like to refund your ticket. We'll provide you with instructions on how to return your passenger receipt to us. Once we receive your passenger receipt, we'll submit the refund request to the airline and send you a refund receipt.
10. When you need to change an existing reservation, contact our Customer Service Center (be sure to have your Trip ID available for the agent). A customer service agent will modify your reservation and have your Electronic Ticketing Record updated to reflect your new travel arrangements.
11. Not all flights can be ticketed electronically. Travelocity offers Electronic Ticketing as a ticket delivery method only when the itinerary you reserved qualifies for this option.
12. On occasion a paper ticket will be issued when the airline's reservation system is down.
13. In most cases, when you check-in at the airport for your flight, you will need to show a government issued photo ID, i.e., driver's license or passport. The agent will check you in and provide you with boarding passes, if applicable. Some carriers may require you to present the credit card used in purchasing your Electronic Ticket. Check with our Customer Service Center if you have questions.
14. If your reservation is with an airline that provides pre-reserved seating, you can reserve your seat in advance. Boarding passes will be provided at check-in time.
15. Refundable paper tickets should be returned either to the airline (faster processing time) or to our Customer Service Center where a refund will be issued to your credit card. The address to return fully refundable tickets is:
Travelocity
Attention: Refund Department
8750 Tesoro Drive, Suite 100
San Antonio, TX 78217
16. If your ticket is NON-REFUNDABLE, keep the ticket as you may be able to apply the unused ticket for future travel. The airline may charge a fee for reissuing/reusing a non-refundable ticket. Since everyone loves a bargain, many customers prefer to use non-refundable tickets. Non-refundable tickets are perfect for customers who know when and where they need to travel and are unlikely to change their minds. Non-refundable tickets are not preferable for customers who may need to change their plans. In addition to not being able to obtain a refund for the unused ticket, additional fees for re-issuing the ticket may be imposed by the airline. In general, this fee ranges between $75.00 and $100.00, plus any applicable fare changes.
17. The Customer Service Center must send refund requests back through ARC (Airline Reporting Corporation). They in turn send a debit back to the airline requesting the refund. As a general rule, the process takes approximately one to two billing cycles before the credit appears on the customer's bill.
