2 - cancel both tickets at least 24 hours after purchase to receive 2 FFCs ?
3 - purchase actual desired ticket using all available FFCs ?

Presuming the above procedure is correct, are there any fees involved for the cancellations? (In other words) is a FFC issued for the full value of a cancelled ticket?

When using multiple FFC‘s to purchase a ticket, can it be done by the individual online or does it require a telephone call?

(Sorry, for some reason I’m having trouble getting this elevator to the top floor

Thanks again.

That is the best way of doing it. Can all be done online. Essentially on the payment page of the 'real' reservation you apply the 2 cancelled FFCs - there are no fees assuming you booked non-BE US domestic tickets that you cancelled more than 24 hours later
