Ctrip Flight Reservations: Need to Verify with Airline?

I recently booked two one-way flights with Ctrip (Xian to Guilin). I received a confirmation email with the itinerary, but no PNR or ticket numbers. So, I emailed Ctrip and asked them to send me the PNR and ticket numbers, which they did.

So, I have all the information I need, or do I? Should I be calling China Southern to verify that our itinerary is in their system? Or, do I just trust that all is okay since I have the all-important PNR & ticket numbers. From all the reading I've done here, it seems like Ctrip is reliable and trustworthy, so I'm not really worried about fraud, just something slipping through the cracks.

I have two more flight segments I need to book soon, so just want to make sure I do all the right things. Really don't want any surprises at the airport.

Thanks for any advice you can give.
