In short, I had an award reservation (pre-dev) with a BRU-IAD flight on SN which got cancelled (they stopped flying the route in the winter). I have changed the flights (a long story there, they originally charged the new price for it and then changed it back to the hold price).
However, when I check the e-ticket on Saudi web site half of the flights show "Airport Control" and not "Open for use".
Should I be worried?
(The complete trip is IAD-ARN-FCO-X-TLV-VIE-ZRH-YUL-DCA, used to be IAD-ARN-FCO-X-TLV-VIE-BRU-IAD)
Your booking is fine. When United issues a ticket involving non-UA/UAX carriers, UA's reservation system sends control of the relevant e-ticket coupons to the other carrier immediately. This is a bit different than other airline reservations systems, where e-ticket coupon control is usually sent over 3-5 days before the flight, but nothing to worry about.
