Ahh - - Something that would have never been a problem under paper tickets. This is why I always check my e-ticket record on the website with "SV" and ensure that it is correctly issued/ the flights are all listed and the coupon status is "Avaialble". Then - when I get to the operating carrier - if there is ever a problem - I can give them the e-ticket number and they can manually associate at checkin . . Anyhow - This sounds like a nightmare - and a seriously ridiculous one. . . .
