What we seem to have here is a failure to communicate. In the fourth message in this thread I stated -

It looks like you are misinterpreting the rules. Every connection you make (i.e. every different flight coupon you use) counts as a segment, regardless of whether you stopover at the connection city or not.

You seemed to understand this and quoted this specific statement in the fifth message in this thread. However, as christep noted, your latest itinerary seems to ignore this advice. A round trip (e.g. HKG-ICN-HKG and LHR-DXB-LHR) is, at least, 2 segments. The same thing applies to your connection flights (e.g. SEA-ORD-LAX and STL-DFW-YVR).

Another way to look at a segment is that every time you get on and off one airplane that is a segment. Get on and off another airplane and it is another segment. Hope this helps clear up any confusion.
