Thanks for sharing! I guess I'll just go to first the airport that is on the trip. Although I'm tempted to find out if it would work otherwise, I would not be happy paying up to 600 € for a new single flight ticket.

Look up your reservation on any third-party PNR viewer (Saudia Airlines is a good one for Amadeus PNRs). The fare information and amount paid, usually with the tax breakdown, is all there in the e-ticket.
Here's an example of a KL ticket booked on a third party OTA, viewed on the Saudia website:
Also thanks for sharing! This is valuable info.
The Saudi Airline website (and any other airline I checked except Corsair and LIAT itself) didn't recognize my booking or e-ticketnumber.
However on
www.checkmytrip.com I can idd see my whole trip after entering the bookingnumber. Who created the actual PNR finally? The travel agent or the airline and which one (since there are 2 airlines involved)? In whose system is it stored (initially), in all three at the same time?
Does the PNR system also records whether I have checked in or not?
Concerning skipped flights: when 2 completely unrelated flights are booked in 1 booking. Let's say San Fransisco to Miami with United on 1 February and a local flight from Ho Chi Minhstad to Hanoi with Vietnam Airlines on 1 July.
I'm almost certain that the Vietnam flight will NOT get cancelled when I didn't board the United flight in the US. Even if it would be "connecting" flights (meaning the departure of the second flight is close the arrival of the first one) it's not always the case, and certainly not when there is no relation between the two airlines.
The question is: what are the exact conditions that have to apply that could result in cancellation of all subsequent flights when a flight is skipped?
In my case the unnecessary flight (from LIAT) has a different confirmation number than the other flights which on their turn all share the same confirmation number which is also the booking number of my whole trip (6 alphanumeric code).
Both airlines show my whole itinerary after entering their confirmation number. Although LIAT doesn't recognize my booking number (which is also the confirmation number of the other flights), it is displayed on LIAT's booking manager somewhere when entering LIATs confirmation number.
Other strange thing is that according to LIAT I paid more than 500$ just for their flights (1 trip with 1 stopover) and it is a Fully Flexible ticket which I can cancel/change at (almost) no additional cost. Wonder what would happen if I did this?
To make things more intriguing: the outward journey consist of 2 flights (Paris --> Montreal --> Martinique), a Corsair and Air Canada (Rouge) flight but share the same booking/confirmationnumber, although Air Canada explicitly displays that the booking was not made through them. To my knowledge Corsair International has no relation with Air Canada. Corsair has direct flights from Paris to Martinique and no reason to fly me through Canada.
And lastly: when LIAT has a delayed/canceled flight which leads to missing my connection back to Paris. Will I be put on the next flight at no extra cost because the whole trip is made in 1 booking?
