KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: air tickets
In the UK, agent-sold air tickets are accounted through BSP, with agents reporting sales electronically when the electronic ticket is created (or in limited cases by post) and then being billed for the ticket value minus commission; while e-tickets dominate, manual tickets may still be encountered, and the entry explains older ticket printer systems (ATB and TAT) that were hard to alter, versus handwritten manual tickets with multiple self-carboning coupons including an audit copy sent to BSP, an issuing office copy, travel coupons, and a cover that also served as the passenger copy, with a note that BSP operates widely worldwide and a cross-reference to ARC for US arrangements.
