The issuing airline can tell you the ticket #...what I would do if there's potential for an issue is:
- Carry a printed copy of the latest e-Ticket receipt with you when you check in (this will have the ticket number and all flights booked)
- Call the operating carrier before you travel to confirm the reservation
- Be prepared to call the issuing carrier if you run into an issue (though it seems there's usually not a lot that they'll be able to do once you're at the airport)
Guy Betsy, I wonder if you have any other tips?
