I'll try to find that 17 digit number. It is not in my confirmation email - but I'll contact that agency to see if I can get it.
I still don't understand what would happen if I were to honestly miss a flight, like if I got sick or lost track of time. Would I still loose all my return flights? It seems a bit excessive for a human mistake. Could there really not be a loop hole somewhere there?
Kind regards

Depending on your TA, there are some who build what look like single journeys from multiple tickets. That is fine when they tell you about it. But, some do not and one only finds out when one flies and things go wrong.
But, as noted, if this is one ticket to CUN and back, the "back" to CPH will be cancelled at some point during your seven weeks in Mexico. That brings me to the question of how you intend to get from MEX-CUN to catch your return via ORD. Given the necessity for that, what would it cost to change your existing ticket so that the MEX-CUN segment is moved back o whenever it is that you expect to fly. It may cost very little, nothing at all, or a fortune. But, worth finding out before engaging in a risky process.
As to getting ill, this is exactly what travel insurance covers,e.g. your hospital and local expenses as well as what it takes to get you back to CPH. As to simply failing to show up, it does not really matter why to an air carrier. Always possible that some individual staff take pity and rebook you, but not something I would plan on at MEX or with 40.
