I'm a little new at this, as this will be the first time I travel back to the US since I came to Korea nearly 2 years ago. I purchased a ticket from Soho travel. They sent me an e-ticket! I'm assuming this will be fine when I go to Incheon airport, but my question is: do I need to call and reconfirm a day or two beforehand, or simply show up a few hours early with the printed ticket?

Thanks so much for your help!

Show up 2 or 3 hours early (extra security for US bound flights) with your e-ticket in hand and everything should be just fine.

I remember back to when we were expected to confirm flights but those days are long gone.

If the weather is dicy you can check your flight's status online before you head to the airport.

If they've overbooked your flight you can consent to some nice rewards for waiting for the next flight but thats rare & optional.

You dont even have to show your e-ticket at check-in -- your passport should be sufficient.

But I still like something on paper (computer printout ok!) reminding me where I'm going.
