oneworld4u, Thankyou for your prompt reply. I note you made no reference to IATA mandating support for Linked PNR's by the middle of this year.

This implys that Linked PNR's are not being considered as a solution to the 16 segment e-ticket PNR issue even though the use will be "within industry-wide systems and standards"?

Why would this be the case?
