Incidentally, here's a periodic reminder of IATA Resolution 100, which defines which rule categories are least or most restrictive when combined in an itinerary.
- A "least restrictive" rule category indicates that any rule restrictions apply only within the fare component itself but do not extend beyond the fare component.
- A "most restrictive" rule category indicates that rule restrictions apply to the entire pricing unit. (i.e. if the rule on your first fare allows a Max Stay of 60 days and the second fare allows only 30 days, the maximum stay for the entire ticket or journey is 30 days (Category 7 - Max Stay is a "most restrictive" category)
Most Restrictive category applies to the entire pricing unit
