I would like to use the 16th segment but am I taking too much of a risk ? Should I hold it back in case or will it be OW's problem if I get a flight cancelled and have to exceed the 16 limit ?
Thanks
You have the following risk: If you later want to do a date change and no OW airline is flying that sector any more then you need to reroute and potentially don't have enough sectors left. If the airline forces a change on you they find a solution without affecting the sector count of the original ticket. That is my experience.
