Anyone else?


If you're talking about the DHs that have a hotel layover in between legs(like long int'l DHs), on those it's cancel one, cancel all. I’m pretty sure it’s that way for any multi-leg DH. Global travel will not re-book unless you tell them to and then it's seen as any other deviation. Basically, it's not possible to only deviate one leg without affecting them all.

The multi-day DHs are easier to deal with than DHs with multiple flights the same day. The easiest way to deal with this is to use the scheduled DH to get as far as you want to get (like back into the US). Then once you've done that, call GT and have them cancel the portion of the DH you won't be using. At least then, those funds are available for you to use to get where you do want to go once you're back in the USA.

If you're on a DH with a connection but it is happening all on the same day, I don't think it's possible to break it out and cancel a portion of the itinerary (because it's all part of of the same ticket). I've had situations where multi-leg DHs have a connection in the city where I live. I don't deviate, use the scheduled DH and then I just let the airline know that I won't be using the second leg. The funds for the leg you don't use are not going to be available for future deviations, obviously. Never had a problem with this from the airline or management.
