When you go to the airport to board your flight, you present your airline ticket at the check-in counter. They take your ticket and give you a boarding pass, which gives you the permission to go through the security checkpoint and board the flight. See a translation. Highly-rated answerer.

Unless you are flying to a country that wants proof of onward travel then all you will need to check in for the flight is the six digit PNR, or passenger name record, something like Z2CBUL, as with that you will be able to call up the booking and check in on line or ensure that there have been no changes to the flight times.
If you do not have the PNR then call the airline not the agent with whom you booked to obtain it. You wil not need to supply pages of printed e-ticket at the airport.
Most used to be printed on lightweight card with the airline's logo and in colour, but now a lot of them are printed on very flimsy paper that's prone to tearing if you breathe on it too hard, not nearly as nice as the old BPs. Ground agents may put the bag tag stub on the back of the boarding pass or on your pasport.
Some people print boarding passes at home; I never do. If your airline suggests that you do so in order to save having to pay a fee for printing them at the airport then find a printer and print the BP on a single sheet of A4 at home.
Try to keep the barcode intact as that will be read several times before you reach the boarding gate. Just to be pedantic an eticket is not what you get in your email and print out this a common misconception. It's the details of your ticket, held inside a computer system. You can't see it directly, but if you log on to your airline then you can see what is held in the computer. Tickets used to be physical things printed on little flimsy 'books' of thin paper, and that was your actual ticket, if you lost it you were in big trouble.
It might not even be possible to get another one, and you most likely had to pay to get it reissued. You would have presented your physical ticket at the check in desk and then they printed out a boarding pass for you, which just has the details of the specific flight you will be on and your seat number. Nowadays all you need is your passport, put that in a reader, it looks up where your flight will be and prints out your boarding pass.
Or, using the PNR reference number put that into the airlines system along with your surname, for security and you can print a boarding pass out at home. And since the eticket lives inside a computer system, you can't lose it, damage it, whatever.
Your eticket stores the details of all the flights on your itinerary, so you are for example probably flying out somewhere and back. Both are in your eticket. But you need a boarding pass for each of your flights because they are different, you are in different planes on different days and probably different seats. Also, you cannot pass through to the secure area of the airport "airside" with an e-ticket.
It contains your name, flight number and a QR code that can be scanned by TSA agents as well as by flight staff before you board the plane. Airlines let you collect your mobile boarding pass differently.
The app, which is also available in Spanish, can be scanned at U. Southwest Airlines check-in is similar, and mobile boarding passes can be downloaded in the Southwest app or saved to your smartphone. Travelers can use their electronic boarding pass from their email or text message link. Some international airlines also offer e-tickets, such as Lufthansa and Emirates.
