In 15 years of using RTW tickets, 3 or 4 every year, I have never found that LON (LHR and LGW) were treated as different airports; likewise JFK, LGA and EWR have been treated as one (NYC).

Has something changed? I am about to have another RTW issued (16 segments which include a journey to NYC (into LGA, out of JFK). Are you saying that LGA-JFK will now be treated as an additional segment, thereby putting me over the 16 max?
