KiwiFlyer,

I just want to make sure I totally understand your point here. As an example, I was thinking about a YYZ - UVF on AA as part of a DONE4. Now, on the AA timetable, it show the flight having one stop (presumably in MIA since the times line up), but a single flight number AA2297. When I do an itinerary check with the online OWE tool, it says this flight uses two segments. Is this a glitch in the system?

For a North America BA FF-led series, this would mean I could do YYZ-UVF-LAX-YYZ-UVF-LAX-JFK for all my 6 segments (1 transcon) and have flights over 2,000 miles to get 120 TP's, even though all of the flights with the exception of LAX-JFK have stops? That can't be correct can it?
