TICKET FOR AN AEROPLANE LYRICS

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter

Well she wrote me a letter
Told me she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more, anyway

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter

Well she wrote me a letter
Told me she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more, anyway

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter
Cause my baby just wrote me a letter

E-ticket limitations

E-tickets are sometimes not available for some flights from an airline which usually offers them. This can be due to a number of reasons, the most common being software incompatibility. If an airline issues tickets for a codeshare flight with another company, and there is no e-ticket interlining agreement, the operating carrier would not be able to see the issuing carrier's ticket. Therefore, the carrier that books the flight needs to provide hard copy versions of the tickets so that the ticket can be processed. Similarly, if the destination airport does not have access to the airline who booked the flight, a paper ticket needs to be issued.

Industry discount (ID) tickets also tend to be issued on paper if they are valid for more than one airline, and if the airlines that the tickets are valid for do not have an interlining agreement. Since e-ticket interlining is still the exception rather than the rule, tickets valid for more than one airline are usually issued on paper.

Currently the ticketing systems of most airlines are only able to produce e-tickets for itineraries of no more than 16 segments, including surface segments.

IATA mandated transition


As part of the IATA Simplifying the Business initiative, the association instituted a program to switch the industry to 100% electronic ticketing. The program concluded on June 1, 2008, with the association saying that the resulting industry savings were approximately US$3 billion [1].

In 2004, IATA Board of Governors set the end of 2007 as the deadline for airlines to make the transition to 100% electronic ticketing for tickets processed through the IATA billing and settlement plan [2]; in June 2007, the deadline was extended to May 31, 2008[3].

As of June 1, 2008 paper tickets can no longer be issued on neutral stock by agencies reporting to their local BSP[disambiguation needed]. Agents reporting to the ARC[disambiguation needed], using company-provided stock or issuing tickets on behalf of an airline (GSAs and ticketing offices) are not subject to that restriction.

Except the industry was unable to comply with the IATA mandate and paper tickets remain in circulation as of February 2009

Electronic ticket

An electronic ticket or e-ticket is used to represent the purchase of a seat on a passenger airline, usually through a website or by telephone. This form of airline ticket has rapidly replaced the old multi-layered paper tickets (from close to zero to 100% in about 10 years) and became mandatory for IATA members as of June 1, 2008. During the last few years, where paper tickets were still available, airlines frequently charged extra for issuing them. E-tickets are also available for certain entertainment venues.

Once a reservation is made, an e-ticket exists only as a digital record in the airline computers. Customers usually print out a copy of their receipt which contains the record locator or reservation number and the e-ticket number.

According to critical acclaim, Joel R. Goheen is recognized as the Inventor of Electronic Ticketing in the Airline Industry, an industry where global electronic ticket sales (the industry standard) accounts for over $400 Billion (US) a year (2007). See Patents for Electronic Ticketing Inventions in the Airline Industry.

Checking in with an e-ticket

To check in with an e-ticket, the passenger usually comes to the check-in counter and presents the e-ticket itinerary receipt which contains a confirmation or reservation code. In some airports and airlines it's not even necessary to present this document or quote the confirmation code or e-ticket number as the reservation is confirmed solely on the basis of the passenger's identity, which may be proven by a passport or the matching credit card. After confirming the reservation, the passenger checks-in his/her luggage and is given a boarding pass which usually says "Electronic Ticket" or "E-ticket."

Self-service and remote check-in


The option to check-in online is available on some airlines. A passenger enters their confirmation number at the airline's website, and the passenger prints the boarding pass on their home printer. Online check-in is typically permitted up to twenty-four hours before the flight's scheduled departure time, though this may vary by airline. On airlines without assigned seating such as Southwest, it typically guarantees a passenger early boarding and a better seat. Besides identification, the boarding pass that has been printed is all that needs to be presented upon arriving at the airport. On airlines without online check-in, the check in may take place at a self-service kiosk in the airport, or at the check-in counter.

A boarding pass is required to board an aircraft; in some countries, such as the United States, it is also needed to pass through airport security checkpoints.

E-tickets are very popular because they allow extra services like:

  • online/telephone/self-service kiosk check-in
  • early check-in
  • printing boarding passes at airport kiosks and at locations other than an airport
  • automated refunds and exchanges online, by telephone and at kiosks

Several web sites exist to help people holding e-tickets accomplish online check-ins in advance of the twenty-four-hour airline restriction. These sites store a passenger's flight information and then when the airline opens up for online check-in the data is transferred to the airline and the boarding pass is emailed back to the customer.

Cheap tickets


Besides simply obtaining airline tickets from travel agencies, online or at the airport at regular prices, two special types of cheap tickets exist. These include standby tickets and discount tickets.

Standby tickets are obtained at the airport itself, only hours before departure. They represent places freed up by people, who cancelled their flight shortly before departure (so the airline has free places available, yet can no longer sell it at a regular price, because of the shortage of time).

Discount tickets are tickets that are only available at travel agencies; they are usually targeted at students. Discount tickets may be 50-70% cheaper than other similar regular tickets (not low-cost)

Replacement of paper tickets

It is now common for a traveler to pay a fee, assessed by the airline company, for a paper ticket. In fact, many airlines no longer issue paper tickets. IATA has announced, that as of June 1, 2008, IATA-member airlines will no longer issue any paper tickets.[1]

A ticket is generally only good on the airline for which it was purchased. However, an airline can endorse the ticket, so that it may be accepted by other airlines, sometimes on standby basis or with a confirmed seat. Usually the ticket is for a specific flight. It is also possible to purchase an 'open' ticket, which allows travel on any flight between the destinations listed on the ticket. The cost for doing this is greater than a ticket for a specific flight. Some tickets are refundable. However, the lower cost tickets are usually not refundable and may carry many additional restrictions. A ticket is made up of one or more flight coupons. In the old paper ticket system, these flight coupons were the actual tickets that were used for travel. One flight coupon was used for each leg of the flight.

The carrier is represented by a standardized 2-letter code. In the example above, Thai Airways is TG. The departure and destination cities are represented by International Air Transport Association airport codes. In the example above, Munich is MUC and Bangkok is BKK. The International Air Transport Association is the standard setting organization.

Only one person can use a ticket. If multiple people are traveling together, the tickets are linked together by the same record locator or reservation number, which are assigned, if the tickets were purchased at the same time. If not, most airlines can connect the tickets together in their reservation systems. This allows all members in a party to be processed in a group, allowing seat assignments to be together (if available at the time of the assignment)

Black market

When paper tickets were still frequently used, a practice existed by travellers to get rid of their tickets (which are person-specific), when they decided to alter the course of their trips. This practice consisted of selling the ticket to other travellers (often at discount prices), after which the seller accompanied the buyer at the time of departure to the airport. Here, the original owner checked in under his name and provided the airline with the buyer's baggage. After this, the buyer boarded the airplane at the moment of departure.[2] However, since most airlines check identification on boarding, this procedure is rarely functional.

Alternate Air Ticket POS

1. Mobile Booking: Booking of flight tickets and other facilities, for example reviewing flight schedules, comparing fares can be done using the mobile phone. Calling up the customer care of the airline or the travel agent is obvious, however we are discussing about the other means that does not involve talking to an agent.

a. SMS A short code can be sent to the TA provided code with specific parameters to receive the required information.

Example: Cleartrip provides a facility to send an SMS to 667744 with source, destination, date and month. The reply comes with list of flight codes, time of departure and price, all sorted by price in ascending order. This service is available to Cleartrip’s customers having Airtel, BPL, Hutch and Reliance connection.

b. Interactive voice response A specific number provided by the carrier can be called, and an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) would ask questions and guide the user through. The IVR can also take the payment details and process the payment. The e-ticket can be either sent as email or can be collected over the counter.

Example:

JetAirways uses the IVR system for payment at the call center. After the itinerary is created by the call centre agent, the customer can pay for his tickets via the IVR.This ensures that the payment details are secure. After the payment is successful, the e-ticket is automatically generated by the application and mailed to the customer

Shanghai SmartPay Jieyin has partnered with Lu Hai Kong travel agency in Hefei, Anhui Province, to jointly launch mobile and telephone based payment for airline electronic tickets. As part of the launch promotion, customers who buy airline e-ticket in Lu Hai Kong ticket agency and process payment via interactive voice response (IVR)

2. Smart Card A smart card (also known as chip card or integrated circuit card-ICC), is a pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits which can process information. It can receive input, process it using the ICC applications and delivers the output. The airline smart card enables to easily and quickly identify passengers, board a flight, obtain a ticket, and pay for other products and services. The smart card provides airlines the opportunity to make savings in distribution costs, provides better security against fraud, allows more of their passengers to use self-service facilities, and provides a better means of identification of their frequent travelers.

Examples: Air France has issued smart cards to frequent flyers on its routes from Paris Orly to Marseille and Toulouse. The card is a contact-less smart card using the Mifare radio frequency technology (similar to the Lufthansa card). Gemplus is the supplier of the cards. The card has been used as passenger identification, the ticket and boarding authority.

3. GDS developed Application GDS provides applications that the participating carrier can purchase and use to inform its passengers by means of alerts on their mobile phones. The alerts can be for flight delays, terminal/gate changes, flight cancellations, airport/airline alerts, city/country security alerts, as well as a trip reminder service. Alerts can be private or custom branded with contact information and can be sent via Voice, e-mail, fax or Short Messaging System (SMS). Customized alerts or marketing messages can be also created to get in touch with the passengers anywhere they may be; Patheo offers this same applications too. The alerts can be delivered to travelers via WML and HDML phones, Web-enabled PDAs and RIM Blackberry devices. Any device that receives e-mail or SMS (AOL, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ) can receive Alert Notifications.

Example: Sabre InformSM mobile service is a solution that provides the participating carriers passengers with access to their travel plans – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Mobile services for the customers can be enabled at minimal cost, time and effort. There is no hardware or software to purchase, no developers to train and no systems to maintain and operate. Convenient, efficient and easy to implement, Sabre InformSM helps foster long-term customer relationships and maintain a distinct competitive advantage.

4. Airline developed Application A software application can be installed on the phone that would provide access to a specific airline’s reservation system, book, pay and generate e-tickets via phone. This would require a JAVA enabled handset with GPRS connection.

Example: Jet Airways has launched a mobile airline-ticketing service called JetWallet. JetWallet allows to book, pay (via credit card) and generate e-tickets on the phone. E-Tickets are emailed to a user specified email addresses, and a copy of the details is sent via SMS. JetWallet also allows to change,cancel and refund e-tickets on the phone.There’s also an option to check-in via JetWallet. The application can be used for domestic flights only.

5. Phone Manufacturer/GDS developed Application Mobile phone manufacturers generally provide integrated software for the use of applications like MS Office and also for connecting to the Internet using GPRS on WAP. These applications can also provide pre-programmed interface to a GDS. Using this feature, travel plans can be made, schedules can be seen and tickets can also be booked.

Example: Sabre Holdings signed an agreement with Motorola to power its Mobile Office Solution with travel and ticketing capabilities for mobile professionals. Motorola’s integration with Sabre's wireless travel is a part of its Travel Connector component of the Mobile Office Solution. Also Patheo (Patheo GDS) has a similar technology using mobile office electric transactions on current GDS solutions.

Motorola and WORLDSPAN furnish travel information via Motorola's Internet-access-enabled wireless devices. Through Motorola's Mobile Internet Exchange communications platform (also known as the MIX platform) and its enhanced voice capabilities carriers will be able to offer their customers access to WORLDSPAN's travel services through any phone. WORLDSPAN is the first travel channel provider to the core content of Motorola's MIX platform.

6. WAP sites of GDS The WAP versions of the sites of GDS provides users of mobile phones to surf the site on their GPRS mobile phones and plan the travel.

Example: Amadeus, a Spanish-based technology provider for the travel and tourism industries, is live with its Wireless Travel Management (WTM) system together with Scandinavian regional carrier Wideroe. The system enables Wideroe's customers to check flight availability and book or cancel flights with over 500 airlines around the globe from a WAP-enabled mobile device. In addition, passengers traveling with Wideroe can receive real-time updates about flight departure and arrival times. WTM was developed jointly by Amadeus, Swedish telecomms systems provider Ericsson and Smart, Amadeus' Scandinavian and Baltic distribution partner.

Navigation aids and instrument flight

One of the first navigation aids to be introduced (in the USA in the late 1920s) was airfield lighting to assist pilots to make landings in poor weather or after dark. The Precision Approach Path Indicator was developed from this in the 1930s, indicating to the pilot the angle of descent to the airfield. This later became adopted internationally through the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

In 1929 Jimmy Doolittle developed instrument flight.

With the spread of radio technology, several experimental radio based navigation aids were developed from the late 1920s onwards. These were most successfully used in conjunction with instruments in the cockpit in the form of Instrument landing systems (ILS), first used by a scheduled flight to make a landing in a snowstorm at Pittsburgh in 1938. A form of ILS was adopted by the ICAO for international use in 1949.

Following the development of radar in World War II, it was deployed as a landing aid for civil aviation in the form of Ground-controlled approach (GCA) systems, joined in 1948 by distance measuring equipment (DME), and in the 1950s by airport surveillance radar as an aid to air traffic control. VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) became the predominate means of route navigation during the 1960s superseding the Non-directional beacon (NDB). The ground based VOR stations were often co-located with DME, so that pilots could know both their radials in degrees with respect to north to, and their slant range distance to, that beacon.[4]

All of the ground-based navigation aids are being supplemented by satellite-based aids like Global Positioning System (GPS), which make it possible for aircrews to know their position with great precision anywhere in the world. With the arrival of Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), GPS navigation has become accurate enough for vertical (altitude) as well as horizontal use, and is being used increasingly for trument approaches as well as en-route navigation. However, since the GPS constellation is a single point of failure that can be switched off by the U.S. military in time of crisis, onboard Inertial Navigation System (INS) or ground-based navigation aids are still required for backup.

Air safety




During the 1920s, the first laws were passed in the USA to regulate civil aviation. Of particular significance was the Air Commerce Act 1926, which required pilots and aircraft to be examined and licensed, for accidents to be properly investigated, and for the establishment of safety rules and navigation aids, under the Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce.

Despite this, in 1926 and 1927 there were a total of 24 fatal commercial airline crashes, a further 16 in 1928, and 51 in 1929 (killing 61 people), which remains the worst year on record at an accident rate of about 1 for every 1,000,000 miles (1,600,000 km) flown. Based on the current numbers flying, this would equate to 7,000 fatal incidents per year.

The fatal incident rate has declined steadily ever since, and, since 1997 the number of fatal air accidents has been no more than 1 for every 2,000,000,000 person-miles flown (e.g., 100 people flying a plane for 1,000 miles (1,600 km) counts as 100,000 person-miles, making it comparable with methods of transportation with different numbers of passengers, such as one person driving a car for 100,000 miles (160,000 km), which is also 100,000 person-miles), making it one of the safest modes of transportation, as measured by distance traveled.

A disproportionate number of all U.S. aircraft crashes occur in Alaska, largely as a result of severe weather conditions. Between 1990-2006 there were 1441 commuter and air taxi crashes in the U.S. of which 373 (26%) were fatal, resulting in 1063 deaths (142 occupational pilot deaths). Alaska accounted for 513 (36%) of the total U.S. crashes.[1]

Another aspect of safety is protection from attack. The terrorist attacks of 2001 are not counted as accidents. However, even if they were counted as accidents they would have added only about 2 deaths per 2,000,000,000 person-miles. Unfortunately, only 2 months later, American Airlines Flight 587 crashed in Queens, NY, killing 256 people, including 5 on the ground, causing 2001 to show a very high fatality rate. Even so, the rate that year including the attacks (estimated here to be about 4 deaths per 1,000,000,000 person-miles), is safe compared to some other forms of transport, if measured by distance traveled.

Safety improvements have resulted from improved aircraft design, engineering and maintenance, the evolution of navigation aids, and safety protocols and procedures.

It is often reported that air travel is the safest in terms of deaths per passenger mile. The National Transportation Safety Board (2006) reports 1.3 deaths per hundred million vehicle miles for travel by car, and 1.7 deaths per hundred million vehicle miles for travel by air.[2] These are not passenger miles. If an airplane has 100 passengers, then the passenger miles are 100 times higher, making the risk 100 times lower. The number of deaths per passenger mile on commercial airlines between 1995 and 2000 is about 3 deaths per 10 billion passenger miles

Ticketing FAQ's

How are ticket prices decided?

The prices of the tickets are finalized through contract negotiations between the artist and the promoter.
What is the difference between purchasing tickets through Ticketmaster as opposed to purchasing directly from the Viejas Arena or Aztec Center ticket office?

The main difference relates to service charges. There is no service charge on tickets purchased directly through the Viejas Arena and Aztec Center box office.
Can I upgrade my tickets?

There are not refunds, exchanges or upgrades once tickets are purchased
Does my child need a ticket?

Almost all events scheduled require every patron to have a ticket for entry. Standard policy is that only “babes in arms” are allowed in without a ticket. Anyone under 2 must sit on an adult's lap. For family events, age restrictions may vary.
What do I do if I need accessible/disability seating?

Accessible seating for guests in wheelchairs and guests with limited mobility are available throughout the arena and Open Air Theatre, and based on event configuration. Tickets in the accessible seating areas can be purchased through Ticketmaster or through the Viejas Arena ticket office. Ticketmaster will only sell 1 companion seat with 1 wheelchair space. The Viejas Arena ticket office will sell up to 3 companion seats with 1 wheelchair space. Customers can phone the Viejas Arena ticket office at 619-594-5085 with any questions.
Why do some of the best tickets sell so quickly?

When an event goes on sale there are literally hundreds and sometimes thousands of customers simultaneously attempting to purchase tickets across all distribution channels. Like any limited commodity, tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and sometimes they go quickly. If 500 fans are simultaneously buying four tickets each, 2,000 tickets can be sold in a matter of seconds! Also, in some cases, tickets are held by the promoter or have been pre-sold to season ticket holders reducing the number of tickets available for purchase by the public.
Why are “better” tickets sometimes available after the event goes on sale?

Tickets may be released for sale as the event date approaches. This happens for several reasons such as 1) The artist or team may no longer need the tickets that were held when the event originally went on sale, or 2) Once the stage or event area is set up, the venue has a better idea about which seats are obstructed.
Why are there limits on how many tickets I can buy?

The promoter or artist's management will typically impose a ticket limit in order to provide ticket access to as many fans as possible. Ticket limits vary depending on the type of event or the anticipated demand for tickets.
Why do I need to keep my scanned ticket or ticket stub?

The ticket stub is your receipt and proof that you purchased the right to sit in a specific seat. Viejas Arena/Open Air Theatre staff will often ask to see a ticket stub when you are moving around the facility or returning to your seat. A ticket stub is also needed whenever a cancellation or rescheduled performance situation occurs.
Why did my tickets turn black?

As a security measure, tickets are printed on thermal paper and may turn black if exposed to extreme heat (glove boxes, dashboards, etc.). If this happens, contact the Viejas Arena Ticket Office at (619) 594-0429 or the Aztec Center Ticket Office at (619) 594-2682.
Why can't I find information on an event coming to Viejas Arena or the Open Air Theatre?

Viejas Arena management cannot release information on an event until the promoter representing the event grants permission. Once we have been given permission to release the information, it will be listed on our event calendar. Please visit the Upcoming Events page to see our upcoming events.
How can I purchase backstage passes?

Backstage passes are supplied by the tour and can never be purchased. Viejas Arena/Open Air Theatre management does not have access to backstage passes
How can people be stopped from standing up during the concert?

Typically, guest services staff and security will not ask a guest to sit down if they are standing in front of their assigned seat. Their ticket gives the guest the right to stand or sit at their designated seat. Each situation, however, is handled on an individual basis. Standing on seats, rails or other structures is never permitted. Additionally, standing or dancing in the aisles is not permitted because of fire codes.

Ticketing Policies

Age policy

Almost all events scheduled require every patron to have a ticket for entry. Standard policy is that only “babes in arms” are allowed in without a ticket. Any child admitted without a ticket is required to remain in parents lap. For family events, age restrictions may vary.
Cancelled or rescheduled events

If an event is cancelled, tickets can be taken back to point of purchase for a refund. Customers who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster on line or over the phone will generally receive a refund without having to return the tickets. Customer's who purchased tickets at a Ticketmaster Ticket Center will have to return to the ticket center to receive their refund. Tickets purchased at the Viejas Arena ticket office or the Aztec Center ticket office must be returned to either office for a refund. Refunds will only be made in the same method of payment used to originally purchase the tickets at the ticket office. If an event is postponed, patrons can hold on to their tickets until a new date is scheduled or tickets can be taken back to point of purchase for a refund.
Event on-sale information

When a newly scheduled event at Viejas Arena goes on sale to the general public, the Viejas Arena ticket office will be open to sell tickets. If an on sale is scheduled on a Saturday or Sunday, the ticket office will remain open until all customer in line are served. After the line is served, the box office will close. If an event goes on sale during the week, the ticket office will remain open until the normal closing hour.
Random Number Distribution (Lottery Procedure)

Depending on the show, the Viejas Arena ticket office will use random numbers for an on sale. Call the Viejas Arena information line, at 619-594-6947, to find out if random numbers will be used for a particular on sale. Random numbers are used to ensure a fair distribution of tickets during the on sale. Even if random numbers are not used for an on sale, no customer will be allowed to "camp out" in front of the box office prior to the on sale. The following random number procedure is based on an on sale time of 10am:

* Customers wishing to receive a random number will not be allowed to line up any earlier than 8am
* All customers in line by 9am will receive a random number. Any customer arriving after 9am will be placed in another area separate from the customers who have received a random number.
* Approximately 10 minutes before the on sale time, the starting number will be drawn. At that time, everyone will be placed in line in numerical order.
* Customers receiving a random number are not guaranteed a ticket, only a place in line.

Refunds, Exchanges and Upgrades

Refunds, exchanges, and upgrades are not available.
Same day ticket orders
