Cheaptickets is one of several brands owned by Travelport (Cendant) that include Orbitz and e-bookers, as well as the Galileo GDS service.

Int kiosk check in is becoming the norm. The following is from www.aa.com:

<i>International Flight Check In At Self-Service Machines

Now you can check in for international flights at airport Self-Service machines.
Now it is easier than ever to check in for an international flight. Customers with e-tickets traveling to international destinations can use Self-Service Check-In machines at select airports.

Here's how it works:

* Swipe your passport or a credit card through the machine's reader and select your itinerary.
* If you do not have a machine-readable passport, simply follow the prompts on the screen to enter the information manually.
* You will then be asked for your country of residence. Passengers who are residents of the U.S. but not U.S. citizens will be asked to swipe their U.S. Alien Resident card.
* After completing the identification process, your boarding pass will be issued. Should you experience an &quot;exception&quot; during the process, ticket agents will be available to assist in completing your transaction. </i>

Actually couple of the airlines are already set up for international on line check in. I believe Northwest is one but I'm not sure.

Very cool, thank you AA! We received paper tickets for our upcoming Austrian trip. Actually, we're flying JFK to Munich, then going to Salzburg by train. My tickets are Lufthansa (through cheaptickets) and were 700 each. So far, I've not been able to find them any cheaper since I first began searching. We were thrilled. Lufthansa was quoting them 400 dollars more.
