I know the standard definition of a segment (DCA-ATL ATL-MDW MDW-ATL ATL - DCA is 4 segments), but what I become less clear on is what happens when there is a stop but no change of metal.

I'm flying DCA-SEA-JNU in a couple weeks, but on the SEA-JNU leg the plane stops in KTN and SIT (This is of course on Alaska Airlines). I'm curious if this will only count as 3 segments, or if it will count as 5.

Thanks in advance for chiming in!
