This is the [edited] eticket number of my DONE3 last year.
160-233XXXX417-20
417 had 4 flights, as did 418, 419 and 420.
On the old paper tickets, each 'page' had 4 segments with 4 copies of that page, one for each segment with the segment that copy was for highlighted.
eg:
copy 1
>JFK-LAX<
LAX-NRT
NRT-HKG
HKG-SIN
copy 2
JFK-LAX
>LAX-NRT<
NRT-HKG
HKG-SIN
copy 3
JFK-LAX
LAX-NRT
>NRT-HKG<
HKG-SIN
copy 4
JFK-LAX
LAX-NRT
NRT-HKG
>HKG-SIN<
the next page would then have the next 4 segments.
