Flight companies can send your tickets by fax today? never a paper ticket more ... It is a waste of money. they might be able to do so, but there is no reason to waste yours or the company time-fax is really outdated
Just make a PDF of your receipt. go to the airport in the morning with your confirmation number and they will take care of everything you need that.
It is not necessary to obtain a paper ticket ... just write your confirmation number and print your boarding passes at the beginning of the line and skip the ticket counter.
Not knowing fax - probably not that many people have a fax, but certainly by e-mail.
Most air tickets these days are "e" ticket is not the electronic paper. They would not be these faxes, but can mail the booking reference or confirmation. The airline recognizes you as the holder of the ticket when you present your passport photo identification upon arrival.
No, they can not. Airlines rarely even issue paper tickets if they issue them to all. Faxes or copies have never been accepted. If a paper ticket is issued, you must have the physical ticket. Nothing else is acceptable.
Most tickets are now electronic and exist only in the computer system of the airline. The airline (or third party website If you use a site like Expedia or Travelocity) will send you a confirmation e-mail. (Many people on this website will tell you that the e-mail is your ticket. This is completely false. E-mail is not a ticket.)
Do not worry if you do not have e-mail. You do not need a confirmation by e-mail to steal. You can check by using only your ID and confirmation number (you can get from the airline or a third party website) or your name and flight number.
