How do I order a flight ticket online?
ok so. i have not traveldd by myself until now. I need help. I am trying to look for a really cheap ticket ROUND TRIP from San Antonio International Airport to- Los Angeles, California (LAX). Also. If i order it online, how do I get the ticket? email? or when I go to the air port, how do they know I purchased a flight online? I have no idea. Can someone help me find a cheap ticket? or website. I have been trying to get one so I can leave at 6pm but seems to me that the latest you leave....the more expensive it is:(...and also how do i get the ticket? thanks(i know im so ignorant, but i'd rather be called ignorant than not having the flight ticket..:(

You go to whatever website you want to order the ticket from(try Southwest Airlines, they can be really cheap), choose what you want and follow the steps on the screen. You'll need a credit card or maybe PayPal to buy. Once you've finished it all, you usually get an email with your "e-ticket" in it. You print that out and take it to the airport with you. You show them that and your picture ID, and they take it from there. Remember that the name on your ticket has to match that on your ID exactly. If your ID says John Q. Smith, order the ticket in that name. You almost don't even need the e-ticket these days because the airline can find all your info once you present your ID, but I always take a copy with me just in case. Read all th fine print on the website since you're new to this.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
