That said, almost all tickets are valid for one year from DATE OF ISSUE so that's independent of the fare rule. I wouldn't be expecting to use things more than 12 month past issue.
All airlines have to give 12 months from the first coupon flown, its IATA rule. They can restrict this by a fare max stay but not by limiting ticket validity itself. For any international travel at least.
I have seen that airlines do not follow this rule for award tickets (many give 12 months from the issue date only) but I guess this has to do with the nature such tickets.
