I don't print my e-ticket until the week of the flight. It's not really worth anything, but can be handy when checking in curbside. Since I have bought our last few batches of tickets9 to 11 months ahead of time, there is usually a flioght number change so the original eticket is not worth anything in that case. I think the next flight wee take, we'll just print out boarding passes off the home computer and head to the airport -so no etickets at all. I do save the receipt and original etickets in my email files tho.
