Same deal with AA 68/69 DFW – MAD. AA68 is a LRTC 757 from DFW-MIA, a 3.25 hour layover in MIA and then 767 to MAD. Itin. says 4966 miles. On a RT, that makes me 68mi. short for my 10,000 FLY04... Ouch!!
Actual butt in seat miles are DFW-MIA 1121mi., MIA-MAD 4424mi. That’s 5545mi., or a difference of 1158 qualifying miles I am missing out on with a RT. Guess I will send customer service a “nice” email when I return, pleading my case.
