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.

It has been several months, but last time I was not able to do this. I had two FFCs from two cancelled tickets. To use each FFC I had to go to the respective confirmation codes and change the respective tickets separately. When I start from one of the FFC I could
not add the other one. May be this has been solved now?
