Teleticket removes need for TODs

Monday, 7 April 20083 min read

Flight consolidator Teleticket has introduced an email facility to offer a quicker and more efficient service to agents.

The service has eliminated the need for ticket on departure (TOD) on new bookings as tickets can now be emailed, saving passengers time at the airport as they can proceed directly to check-in.

Managing director Neil Chapman said: “This new feature makes travel more passenger-friendly, with a reduction in unnecessary paperwork and waiting times/costs for post, increasing overall efficiencies at lower operational costs.

“This new ticketing system will also allow Teleticket to sell and ticket on a mixture of low cost and charter flights on one booking.

“For example, an agent can offer travel with Jet2.com from Manchester to Tenerife with a return on Futura and this would be issued on one contract and ticket.”

He added: “We understand that some passengers might not have access to a computer so, in the spirit of offering our agents with as much flexibility as possible, we have also ensured that the tickets are in a printer friendly format, ready for the agent to print and post to their customer.”
