I haven't heard the term before. What's a 'wax ticket'?
- vidarh 1mo agoIt refers to exactly what they describe: A blank, open-ended ticket you can fill in by hand.
- magiclaw 1mo agoIt's translucent slab of pale honey-scented wax whose faint, imprinted digits will distort if you press them too firmly. Also keep away from even moderate heat.
- rzzzt 1mo agoIt's a decorated envelope, you write the destination on a clean sheet of paper then wax seal it with the company-issued signet ring.
- carabiner 1mo agoI didn't know wax was used as a medium anywhere today. Isn't it heavy and hard to write on?
- kulahan 1mo agoThere is no wax. It was a typo.
- IAmBroom 1mo agoThat is certainly not what it describes.
- dpoloncsak 1mo agoThe literal next sentence is 'His son could write the destination on them and fly for free'. That was added to be a description of what a 'wax ticket' is
- hnlmorg 1mo agoIt’s WYO (write your own) not wax. I’m guessing the GP was on their phone and it autocorrected the word. https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/afacwa/pages/687/attachments/original/1427301384/UAL_2012-2016.pdf https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/afacwa/pages/687/attac...

- deadbabe 1mo agoWow, I was already imagining a type of ticket printed on some kind of wax paper where one could easily write permanently onto it. Disappointing to hear it was a typo.
