Paper Wins - No e-Tickets Alone. Other passport issues.
You may not have a choice any more on e-tickets. Our last trip provided no paper tickets, offered none, said we could not have one. This was to mainstream Europe, however - Scandinavia - and not to other less-touristy places as before, like Romania.
In Copenhagen, with our e-ticketing, we checked in online, printed out the boarding pass at the hotel, from the e-ticketing, got it, took it to the airport, and it would not scan through at the detectors. Back to the airport machines. Those would not work because we had already accessed our account through the hotel. Get in the big line for a Person, finally get it through. All we had for proof of getting on was the silly email confirmation and a number. Moral is only to leave lots of time for snafus.
