I recently flew ACC-ROB-BRU. I earnt FF credit for ACC-BRU and only one EQP but on my map it is two segments and all the miles. But I do not consider myself to have visited Liberia. Even had I deplaned and hung out in a transfers lounge I wouldn't have counted that.
OK, on a forthcoming itinerary I clear Canadian customs (YYZ, on the last flight from LHR), take the inter-terminal train from T1 to T3, check-in to the on-site Sheraton (I believe I can do all this with out once going outside). The next morning I take myself back to T1 and get the first flight to IAH. Have I visited Canada?
Oh, and I do appreciate that it's bit stupid, but the 767 is missing from my log (
