Any further changes to segment status in the booking record will not change the TTL unless it becomes more stringent than the original one.

Example (Booking made on 12Jul05) :

Segment 1 - SQ 12 Singapore-Los Angeles 29Jul
Segment 2 - SQ 29 Los Angeles-Singapore 05Aug

TTL for segment 1 is 24Jul05.
