What we seem to have here is a failure to communicate.
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.</font>
Thanks - it's more a difference of experience, interpretation & being divided by a common language
In the UK I've had one ticket issued or a ticket slip (my undertanding of your "coupon") for a return trip, even had a complete RTW trip counted as one segment !!
So I planned this trip accordingly e.g. LAX via ORD to JFK being one single flight irrespective of the number of planes !! Nice if were allowed
Anyway now I'm looking @ :-
Eur 1 CDG HEL
Eur 2 HEL LHR
Eur 3 LHR DXB
(this flight should take me to AA Gold)
Eur 4 DXB LHR
Interconti LHR LAX
(this flight should take me to AA PLT)
USA 1 LAX JFK
(the one trans-USA allowed)
USA 2 JFK ORD
USA 3 ORD MIA
USA 4 MIA DFW
USA 5 DFW YVR
Interconti YVR HKG
Asia 1 HKG DEL
Asia 2 DEL HKG
Asia 3 HKG SIN
Interconti SIN LHR
Still have yet to work out if the timetables match up to allow the trans USA flights to get done in the time available.
Have I got it now ?
ExMo - How many of these have you flown ?
