segment question
Flew AA1645 BDL to LAX last week.
We had a 1 hour stop in ORD where we had to get off, but didn't switch metal. This was credited as 1 segment.
Is that right?

It is an oddity in the airline industry that a "direct" flight is counted the same as a nonstop flight for mileage, upgrade, and fare purposes.

Is every 500 miles flown considered a segment? ie., LAX-ORD r/t is how many segments?

If it's the nonstop, it's just one segment (1700+ miles).

BOS-JFK = 182 miles = 1 segment
JFK-NRT = 6745 miles = 1 segment

You need to have different flight numbers for more than 1 segment. The length of flight has no relationship to it.
