Welcome to our step-by-step guide on how to create a CSS flight ticket. This project is perfect for web developers looking to add a unique and interactive element to their website or portfolio. By the end of this tutorial, you will have created a stylish and responsive flight ticket using only HTML and CSS. Let’s get started!
Step1: HTML Boarding Pass
This code constructs a detailed, stylized HTML representation of a British Airways boarding pass for a flight from LHR (London Heathrow) to ENG, including design elements like logos, plane SVGs, and passenger details such as name, flight number, and seat. Here is the code example:
<div class="box"> <ul class="left"> <!-- Left dots or design elements remain unchanged --> </ul> <ul class="right"> <!-- Right dots or design elements remain unchanged --> </ul> <div class="ticket"> <span class="airline">British Airways</span> <span class="airline airlineslip">British Airways</span> <span class="boarding">Boarding pass</span> <div class="content"> <span class="jfk">LHR</span> <!-- Updated airport code --> <span class="plane"><!-- Plane SVG remains unchanged --></span> <span class="sfo">ENG</span> <!-- Updated destination code --> <span class="jfk jfkslip">LHR</span> <!-- Slip copy updated --> <span class="plane planeslip"><!-- Plane SVG for slip remains unchanged --></span> <span class="sfo sfoslip">ENG</span> <!-- Slip destination updated --> <div class="sub-content"> <span class="watermark">British Airways</span> <span class="name">PASSENGER NAME<br><span>Smith, Alex</span></span> <!-- Updated name --> <span class="flight">FLIGHT N°<br><span>BA789</span></span> <!-- Updated flight number --> <span class="gate">GATE<br><span>22C</span></span> <!-- Updated gate --> <span class="seat">SEAT<br><span>12B</span></span> <!-- Updated seat --> <span class="boardingtime">BOARDING TIME<br><span>10:45AM ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2024</span></span> <!-- Updated time --> <span class="flight flightslip">FLIGHT N°<br><span>BA789</span></span> <!-- Slip flight number --> <span class="seat seatslip">SEAT<br><span>12B</span></span> <!-- Slip seat --> <span class="name nameslip">PASSENGER NAME<br><span>Smith, Alex</span></span> <!-- Slip name --> </div> </div> <div class="barcode"></div> <div class="barcode slip"></div> </div> </div>
Step2: Styling a Boarding Pass with CSS
This CSS code styles an HTML boarding pass, detailing everything from positioning and background colors to decorative elements like borders and shadows, effectively transforming a basic structure into a visually appealing ticket representation.
