I want to book three flights on the same ticket: Flight 1 from A to B, a couple of days later flight 2 from B to C and around two months later flight 3 from C back to A. I know the exact dates for flight 1 and 2, but I want to be able to rebook flight 3 if necessary.

Lufthansa offers Economy Flexible (instead of Economy restricted) tickets for exactly these cases that allow for free rebooking. However, I can't find a way to book such a Economy Flexible ticket only for flight 3, I have to do it for all 3 flights. What are my options?

Mixed fare class bookings are generally not possible online. To be a little more precise, most engines will happily compose the cheapest tickets from mixed fare classes, but do not give you fine-grained control over individual segments. See also Pricing and booking mixed-class fares, with economy & premium economy combined?, which is about essentially the same issue.

I'd generally recommend figuring out the exact flights/fare classes you want on ITA Matrix, and then:

  1. Call the airline and book through them. Will usually incur a booking fee.
  2. Find a (good) travel agent and book through them. Booking fees may apply, but will usually be less since they also get a commission from the airline. Not all travel agents will be able to assist though.
