Guy Betsy, thanks for your time. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough, so here's more information:

Because you are using two seperate tickets, you are allowed to do as long as you do not use the first sector of your M class ticket. I take it you're using B class YVR-HKG, and then onto Australia on the M class ticket.</font>
Yes, that's correct. I also do not intend to use the first segment of M-class ticket either. And of course, I will have the 3 segments of M-class to return from SYD-HKG-YVR in January.

I'm sorry, but I didn't quite get what you meant in this, did I mislead you? Let me clarify. I will have 2 tickets:
Ticket 1
The B-class ticket was originally issued in HK last January, HKG-YVR-HKG. I have already used the HKG-YVR portion, so I have the return portion still in my hand.
Ticket 2
I will issue the ticket for YVR-HKG-SYD-HKG-HKG on M-class. But I can't get the preferred departing on this M-class ticket. Therefore, I intend to use my ticket in the following order:
1) YVR-HKG (the B-class) on 21st, and cancel YVR-HKG (19th) on the M-class.
2) HKG-SYD (M-class) on 24th.
3) BNE-HKG (M-class) on 7th of Jan.
4) HKG-YVR (M-class) on 8th of Jan.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">If you decide to do it, you must cancel the HKG-YVR in M class as you have no intention to use it anyway. Just don't ever use it in reverse after your Australian trip ! You are allowed to 'mix' reservation classes in one booking PNR. (I do it all the time).</font>
Is it possible to just "cancel" the first segment without loosing the reservation for 3 onward segments? I hope I made my situation little more clear this time... Thanks in advance.
