So, assuming no further blanket extensions, if I buy a ticket in June 2022 for a flight in February 2023 and I cancel in January 2023 will the resulting FFC expire in June 2023 because it wasn't issued before December 31, 2022? It sounds to me like it would. ....
While your interpretation of what is written looks correct, it would be more consistent with best practices for the Dec 21, 2022 is be referring ot purchased date not cancelling / FFC issue date. The 1-year has always been off of purchase and the two Dec dates are 1-year apart, Basically say on Dec 31, 2022 we will back to the standard 1-yr policy
But that is not what is written
You have the oddity that a Feb 2022 purchase ticket will expire in Dec 2023 if canceled before end of Dec 2022 and if cancelled a few days later in Jan 2023, expires 10 months earlier in Feb 2023. Makes no sense
