P.S. Thanks for your comments on sign up.
I think you've got the gist of it. I'll throw together some mock-ups of what I envision it as. Basically, I think it'd be great if I were searching for a trip from say JFK-BKK and wanted to stop in Europe. I do a search from JFK-ZRH(stop)-BKK(dest) and find an F ticket for the JFK-ZRH leg, but nada for the ZRH-BKK leg. I "freeze" the JFK-ZRH leg I found and search for ZRH-FRA(J)-BKK(F) and can build the itinerary like that. Once I freeze those trips, I can work on the return.
Theoretically, you could use this feature and build multiple itineraries. A few things to consider though:
1. Would need to be able to "refresh" frozen segments as availability changes
2. Would need to be able to add/delete segments wherever necessary (i.e. I find JFK-ZRH and FRA-BKK, but can't find ZRH-FRA at the moment)
