These are itins with first flight from SHD to IAD on UX followed by multiple *A flights.

I think I heard somewhere that when a travel agent sells a ticket, it is issued by the carrier of the first flight in the routing. Is this true?

If so, am I correct that these tickets would be issued on 016 stock and that the whole itin will apply for PQD?
Thanks!
not necesarily. Most likely the Carrier flying you over the pond is the tkt stock, since they dont fly out of SHD they simply use a *A partner for the flights they dont fly. Why not give Orbitz a call and ask them
