I have a flight booked from YEG to PHX through YYZ (yes, I know but it was the only way to meet a time constraint). The problem is that I the website didn't show it as connecting flight this time even though it often is. I booked it as two separate flight segments on the same PNR. They are, of course, two different T+ fares (one is L, the other T). They are within the 4 hour connection time.

At the time of booking, I didn't have status so I didn't think about it. So, if I upgrade both segments, what's the calculation going to be. 1) 20 credits for two separate >1500 mile flights, 2) 10 credits for one connecting >1500 mile flight, or 3) 6 credits for one connecting <1500 mile flight (the actual mileage between YEG/PHX city pair?

Edit: I'm not within my booking window to see what the system requests and I have two flights before then I would like to upgrade but only if it leaves me enough for this flight.

If this is one PNR and all AC then it should cost you 10!

YEG-YYZ-PHX should be 10 if each connection is within four hours of each other, although that rule does not always apply.
