Question Will e-tickets force *ONE* to max. 16 segments from 2008? (merged threads)
As many people will know, IATA wants to phase out paper tickets by the end of 2007. As shown in other threads, AA already has a policy of a maximum of 16 segments unless they (or their GSA) can be persuaded to issue a paper ticket. Does anyone know if this 16 segment limit is something set in stone (or silicon) by IATA IT system design?

If it is, will this mean a loss of 4 segments on *ONE* itineraries or is there some way round it, such as issuing two 10 segment e-tickets? (I'm sure I've had back-to-back e-tickets on different airlines under a single reservation code.)
