because you have tecnically bought one sector....if you stop at brussels for a day or more than your ticket price will increase....this way its 2 sectors....

very lucky....not for me....they show the miles earned seperately but the flight count is not for 2 flights....

I've managed to work around this by taking MAA-BRU one day before BRU-JFK, and MAA-BLR on the previous flight that day. This way, I've got 2 flight credits.
as i said before, if you have a layover that lasts a day or more then it will count for 2 flights....
