So, arrival was needed by 2/14, meaning that final departure was necessary by 2/13 if it was an overnight flight. Interesting stuff! Just wanted to pass this along in case anyone comes up against this.
Nothing to do with the rules; one year of ticket validity from the date of the first flight coupon is IATA standard.

AFAIK the flight coupons will not be valid for use more than 365 days after the date on the first flight coupon.
