1) Can anyone tell me if the AA flight from MIA to LAS (AA1717) via ORD is classed as a transcontinental flight? It is one flight number but makes a stop in ORD first. Also is this then one flight segement against the allowance of 6, or two?

2) If i wanted to do SYD-SIN-HKG-JFK with CX using SIN and HKG as short transits, am I able to then stopover at HKG from Europe on the return leg?
- 2 PERMITTED IN ASIA. 1 MUST BE A
153N . TRANSIT WITHOUT STOPOVER -OR- ON
154N . DIRECT SINGLE PLANE SERVICE BETWEEN
155N . THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC AND EUROPE.

So i guess im asking if SIN and HKG can both be classed as transit cities for this rule?

Cheers
