One or both or neither sector's award seat may go back into inventory, at either x1 or x2, if you cancel. There is no definitive answer for all situations.
If the 95k ticket is available now, and you have enough points, the safest option is to book the 95k ticket now and then cancel the other two for a refund.
Alternatively, if the 95k ticket is available and you call QRPC, they may be able to cancel, refund immediately and rebook.
If the 95k ticket is not currently available, you take the risk of losing your currenr pricing if the seats do not go back into inventory or if they do so at x2.
