Also, that's the ticket. Exactly what is needed; exactly right. For example, This van is just the ticket for carrying all our luggage, or That's the ticket? you're handling that chain saw very well. The second phrase dates from the early 1800s, and the first is slightly newer.

For a synonym, see WAY TO GO.
