American Airlines expands interline electronic ticketing to Delta Air Lines

American Airlines and Delta Air Lines today introduced reciprocal interline electronic ticketing to provide passengers with more convenient booking options.

Customers can now use a single electronic ticket when their itineraries include travel on both carriers. American offers interline electronic ticketing convenience with most major U.S. airlines, including United Airlines, Continental Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines and U.S. Airways.

Passengers with e-tickets have the ability to rebook between American and Delta Air Lines without having to obtain a paper ticket first. Previously, customers with e-tickets were required to convert to a paper ticket before transferring between carriers. Interline e-tickets can be issued by American  and Delta Air Lines through their respective reservation centers and at airport locations and ticket offices.
