I've flown many times, but this is only the second time I have electronic tickets, and they make me nervous. I got the tickets from Expedia and did not feel like paying the extra for paper tickets. My question is, if I go to the airport, which is close to where I live, can I get regular paper tickets for no charge?

I would call the airline and find out. Each airline has unique rules, and since we don't know who you booked with, it is impossible to comment. I am sure the airline is toll free.
I only use Etickets, btw. That way if I loose them, it is no big deal, just show ID and I am on my way.
I also "curb" my luggage and the sky cap can sign me in right there, no lines. With Delta and a paper ticket, this is not possible. They can sign you in, take your luggage, but cannot issue a boarding pass, so, you are stuck in line.

I don't know about going to the airport to get a paper ticket. I fly a lot for business and even more personally to get back to see family and of course to get down to Disney. I was nervous the first few times that I had an E-ticket. I've been flying now on E-tickets for many, many years and probably fly 10-15 times a year. I've never once had a problem. I have seen others with paper tickets that couldn't find this stub or that copy that were occasionally in real danger of being left behind.

Thanks, you have eased my mind. We are flying with US Air.
