You can't really lose an e ticket; they're stored in the computer system. What you lost is your printout of the confirmation/itinerary. It's a good idea to take that with you to the airport, but it isn't absolutely necessary. It's been years since anyone ever looked at that when I've checked in for flights. If you printed out a boarding pass at home and lost that, then go to the desk personnel for your airline when you get to the airport for help.

Bro' Jeff:

With proper ID (License/ID/Passport)

you should be good to go, bro!

Especially if you paid by Credit/Debit

Card. I've never had a problem boarding.

I go to the machines at check-in & it

spits out a boarding-pass.

no person else can use your value ticket, and based on the fare policies, your survivors won't have the skill to get a reimbursement...it relatively is why holiday coverage is a good theory. heavily! no longer all fares enable refund even in case of dying
