how can you check this? they never let you know before paying that there will be X reservations instead of 1 single PNR for 2 legs or more. I avoid booking thru OTAs just because in case of cancelations or flight schedule change will be very difficult to get a proper rerouting. i read many horror stories and IMO is not worth the hassle.
