The OP said it is a single flight number. In the OP's PNR, I think there is only 1 segment. In the usual case, he will only get the MSY-LAX credit. If he gets off half way, how would that work?

I guess the possibilities (in the order likelihood in my guess) are:

1 - no credit - segment in PNR marked no show
2 - MSY-LAX (full credit)
3 - MSY-SFO (segment flown)
