PNR vs ETKT
I've just booked BKK-CAN-PKX-AMS-CAN-BKK. I received a confirmation with a single PNR for the whole thing.
However, it also lists two ETKT numbers for myself and two ETKT numbers for my wife.
Is this just a limitation of the ETKT system to allow only 4 flights on a single ETKT .... or did the agent pull some trickery that might cause me issues if things don't go according to the plan?

The ticketing systems of most airlines are only able to produce e-tickets for itineraries of no more than 16 segments, including surface segments. This is the same limit that applied to paper tickets.
