What is the advantage of an airline e-ticket?

When paper airline tickets are better than e-tickets

E-(electronic) tickets are wonderful - mostly because there's nothing to lose or forget! A few times when you want to have a paper ticket, in my opinion, is when you are traveling internationally or if you have a multi-airline ticket. Reasons include the possibility of faulty communications between airline systems or lack of compatible (or reliable) programming in other countries. If there is a strike or other disruptive action pending with your carrier, you also want to have your travel agent "print" your ticket. It's easier and faster for the airline to "endorse" your reservation to another carrier if it's paper.
