Hope you guys could help me out on trying to squeeze a side-trip to FRA...but am utterly confused whether this is actually valid. I'm trying to add FRA-MAD LA705 to my current routing which connects me to SCL on the same flight number. Would the FRA-MAD count towards the 4-segment rule in Europe since I'm opting to make a stopover in MAD.


Current Routing

JNB-LHR-CAI-LHR-MAD//SCL-IPC-SCL-LIM-EZE//SYD-CNS-BNE-MEL-SYD//BKK-NRT-HKG-DPS-HKG//JNB

Revised Routing:
JNB-LHR-CAI-LHR-FRA-MAD...etc etc
