Estonian Air to introduce e-tickets
Posted on 4th May 2008 in E-stonia | 5 Comments »
As of 5th of May the customers of Estonian Air don’t have to hassle with printed tickets and can use the automated check-in procedure. Alongside these changes a new website with a new booking system and client area is to be introduced over the next week.
For e-tickets Tallinn Airport (IATA: TLL) will feature automated ticket machines that are considered to speed the check-in significantly. One of the bonuses is also the fact that e-ticket can’t be lost and it doesn’t cost anything to make a duplicate of the ticket which previously cost around 30€.
Whose who have previously bought the ticket, can still check in with their old tickets.
With obvious visual changes the new site will also feature web-based check-in and additional languages:
As the site is currently undergoing an update, Mr Mart Lubi, Chief Pilot of Estonian Air, will walk you through the changes until the site’s functionality will be restored.

I guess Scandinavian Airlines have finally decided to bring you chaps in line with the rest of their business. About time man. You chaps are years behind other European Airlines.
I think your statements are incorrect in many ways:
- SAS Group holds 49% of EA. The latest lay off (1000 employees) at SAS didn’t concern EA in any ways. State holds 34% of EA and Cresco Ltd, an independent Estonian investment bank, 17%;
- The new website design is delivered by Velvet and programming by Saurus, both of which appear local businesses;
- Compared to easyJet for instance, you get proper invoices automatically generated on your flights that those chaps at easyJet are incapable to provide in a formal manner. Also none of the online booking systems, ones used by SAS itself, easyJet or Finnair for instance, can’t really be compared to the one EA is using;
- EA has a fully functional and free Skype client service
Wot you talking about mate? Can you do some simple arithmetic? SAS hold the majority shares. So they have a controlling input presumably. Or does your state interfere in that?
There is nothing wrong with the invoices given by Easy Jet. They are emailed directly upon successful completion and presented on screen too. There is also a user area. EasyJet’s success is something the EA people can’t even dream about mate.
It doesn’t matter who the web designers are. The decision makers are presumably SAS.
Skype functionality? Very good. What does it allow you to call for free?
Yes. Correct. Free calls.
