On the website it still just shows one segment, but I'm #1 on the UG list for HNL-MAJ. I'll share how everything goes.

My only concern at this point is making sure I'm accounted for as having boarded the KWA-KSA flight since I can't get off.

OK, so an update on this for those interested. While I received a separate BP for every segment, I only got miles as if I flew HNL-GUM. I appeared to be the only through passenger with separate BPs, so the fact that I only went in to the transit area of each airport could be the reason I didn't get credit for each individual segment.

I think if you were to successfully split each segment you'd have to clear immigration at each station and check in. When you board from the holding area they just take a quick look at your ticket. There is no scanning or anything like that involved.

On a side note, the former Air Mike crews are top notch. All in all the island hopper was a great experience. I had a lot of fun.
Did you get upgraded from HNL-MAJ? How about the other segments?

I was number one on the upgrade list too for each flight, but they skipped over me for the upgrade because the idiot and apathetic ex-Con agent said all or nothing and there was no R on TKK-GUM. Gosh, my blood boils still thinking about that, especially when business went out with open seats...

But indeed, the Air Mike crew was great.
