JohnAx, I remembered your previous post but couldn't find it in a search. You're right, it makes a great deal of difference on the cost effectiveness of purchased segments depending on their position in the intinerary, which is really what I was asking in Q3.

I guess according to the QF interpretation, if I have 4 segments booked and subsequently want to purchase 2 more and insert them between segments 3 and 4 QF would say no you can't, purchased segments may only be added to the end of the itinerary. Seems a bizarre interpretation but right or wrong tariff always seems to have the last word.

3544quebec, a very interesting reading where the rules governing "free" segments are specifically set apart from "purchased" segments. Would be even more interesting to test this with the rate desk.

GB, always nice to get succinct one syllable answers to questions.
