I have an "and connections" ticket here where the first leg (which is
undeniably the 'and connection' part of the trip) has been issued with a
compulsory reservation.
My conclusion therefore is that if you have such a "compulsory
reservation" coupon then you have to use it, and [this is the important
bit] if you don't, then you needn't.
