paper and is maintained in VARIG’s computerized
system for future reference. This allows the
passenger, upon arrival at the airport, to go
directly to check-in and receive the boarding pass,
merely by giving his/her name and providing the
documents required by local authorities. VARIG’S
Electronic Ticket is the first in Brazil to receive
the seal of IATA (International Air Transport
Association), recognized by the 240 companies that
comprise it, and so it is accepted throughout the
world.
Secure Purchase
Since the purchasing information is maintained
within the system, there is no danger of loss, theft
or damage. The request can be made via internet, by

travel agencies. VARIG offers this service for all
domestic routes, and internationally to Cordoba,
Asuncion, Buenos Aires, Caracas, Santiago (Chile),

present the itinerary receipt (ITR), which the
customer receives by e-mail or fax. International
governmental agencies require the presentation of
the ITR on international flights.
