This doesnt seem to be the case.. I booked quite late on a flight ( since when I went to pre-select seats, most were full).. Then I did OLCI as soon as it opened and my sequence was 2..

From my experience with all airlines till now this has been the case except the last trip on EK when I got a sequence nos in 365 or something on a A330-200..

hmmm.. I checked my last bp stub and the last digit in the e-tckt no is 21-1.. but I have flown them more than once ..
AFAIK, the last no 1-4 denotes the coupon no from the e-ticket .. i checked my last 2 bps .. xxx - dxb was coupon no 1 and dxb - xxx coupon 2 in the e/tckt and the same reflected in the BP as the last digits respectively..
They say welcome back if they see the skywards no in the BP IMO..
