Differing ticketing statuses
Apologies for the OT, however we have a wealth of ticketing related knowledge on this board in particular...
My question: Is it normal for an booking to show in one GDS with ticket numbers and in another without?
Detailed Scenario: I have made a booking with ebookers for flights with Pluna (Uruguayan airline) next month. I have an ebookers Travelport PNR (I think this was Galileo in days gone by), when I look this up on Viewtrip I can see reservation info and ticket numbers. I can also see a Pluna record locator, now, Pluna seem to use Amadeus, but when I plug the Pluna record locator into Checkmytrip, I can see the correct details of the booking but just not the ticket numbers i.e. it looks just like an unticketed BD redemption.
Is this normal?
