Dear customer,
Virtual Reservation Message (VRM) - A screen-shot of the e-ticket displayed through laptops/palmtops/ Mobile phone is referred as Virtual Reservation Message (VRM). It is not simple booking confirmation SMS received on phone. You can travel with VRM.

Ticket Booking email is not valid for traveling.

Thanks & Regards
