inThinking back to my first solo flight, paper tickets felt like a ritual we've lost to efficiency.
My closet still has a shoebox with every paper ticket stub from 1998 to 2010. But streamlining travel isn't just about saving trees, it's about reclaiming mental space. The thrill now is pulling up your pass while hailing a rideshare, everything synchronized in one device. Remember frantically patting down pockets for that flimsy paper rectangle before security? That was anxiety, not romance. Doesn't the certainty of a digital backup actually enhance the journey's start?
