Cancellation request must be made by midnight of the day after the eTicket is purchased or midnight of the departure date of the first flight, whichever comes first. Cancellation request must be made before travel commences for the first flight.
"Before travel commences" to me means that you can't take the first flight and then request the refund, even if it's within 24 hours of purchase. To me, this language is very different from "before scheduled departure of first flight".
