>>>>>Okay, I am flying out to Orlando for Double Impact on Tuesday at midnight. Who do I confirm the airline ticket with? Airport, airline? Can I do this over the web? Am I confirming my ticket or reservation or am I just confirming that that flight number is still flying?

>>Depending on the airline, you may have been able to do this over the web. Most all of my travel for the last 4 years has made use of e-tickets, so I've always had a confirmation number I could check with on the web.

>What is an eTicket? I booked my ticket via Expedia and am flying on Air Canada, but they did mail me a physical ticket.

I use e-tickets almost exclusively. You get a confirmation number, and then you just show up at the airport and check in and get a boarding pass. No paper ticket. And with some airlines, (Northwest), you can even print out your boarding pass at home and take it with you, or get a boarding pass at their kiosks at the airport (if you're a member of their Frequent Flier group).

What airline are you flying with? Or maybe it's an international thing?
