Grammar question about cases

Question

Hi! I'm still a pretty shaky when it comes to cases, maybe someone can help me understand this sentence from my Greek course (any typos are my fault): **Ταξιδεύει με εισιτήριο οικονομικής θέσης.** So, I'm not very familiar with case endings but it seems like εισιτήριο might be in the accusative case, and οικονομικής θέσης is in the genitive. Is that right? If it is in the genitive, is it okay that there isn't an article? I guess that lack of an article between εισιτήριο and οικονομικής θέσης is part of why I am confused. Thanks for any help clearing this up for me. :) :) :)

Very well ! the exact translation is an economy class's ticket so in Greek εισιτήριο της οικονομικής θέσης . But you don't have to use the article , it is not a mistake to use it but there is no need. Among the others properties of genetive case is also to accompanies a noun and to characterizes it , to give an extra feature to the noun . For example : παράσταση θεάτρου = theater performance , τετράδιο μαθηματικών = a math notebook or notebook for maths , φωτιστικό γραφείου = desk lamp or lamp for the desk . i hope i helped you be a little less confused with this complex language.
