Aer Lingus use none of their own paper.

It's a bit silly, really. All you need is page 1, the rest being T&C.
It's generally not convenient to set your system up to print just the
first page of an email. I copy and paste into another application in
order to print the one page I need.

Going out from Dublin, I never have to show it; all I need is my
booking number. I always present it when checking in on the homeward
leg.
