We would like to remind you of the airline's policy regarding violation of the order of booking of flight segments
The policy of reservation sequence of reservation of a flight segment. Breaking the Segments After booking an O&D, segments are ‘married’. It is not allowed to split the segments again. In case volations rules “married segments”, agents will be subject to fines and reservations will be canceled.

Violation of the priority of flight segments in order to gain access to lower booking classes is considered by the airline as a violation of the booking procedure. The following examples fall under such violations:
