This feels like the kind of married segment nonsense that Lufthansa likes to do. Given that SunExpress is a LH/TK venture, perhaps they apply the same level of inventory control.
Fascinating! Jsloan you once again have outdone yourself! Thank you so much for such a detailed reply.

Given that matrix provides all the fare construction details, is there a chance it would ticket if I go to a travel agency and they enter the specific details from matrix?
