(3) Subsequent flights need to be taken within a year of the first flight.
So you could get around the ticket validity dates by e.g. change to EDI-LHR in say May 2024, stopover in London until September 2024, then fly LGW-PFO in September, returning PFO-LGW a week later. All 3 segments on the ticket.
OPs ticket was booked feb 23 so they would need to fly out before then. However if they make a paid change to flights before feb24 now, this would then reset the ticket validity to being one year from the date the ticket was reissued. It would be then possible to change again to later dates.
