I'm looking at a flight to HKG that would be NYC-ORD-HKG....on one itinerary it shows R4 for ORD-HKG with a 3 hour lay over coming in from NYC. But a few spots below that the same ORD-HKG flight has R0 and that would be like a 1:45 lay over flight coming in from NYC.
to find out the true R space, you need to do segment specific search. in your case, search ORD-HKG segment all by itself.
hypothetically let's say you have two options that when you search by segment you would see:
1. NYC-ORD on flight 123 with R=5
2. NYC-ORD on flight 234 with R=0
and ORD-HKG on flight 456 with R=4;
when you search for NYC-HKG, option1 will show for both segments that R=4 (the minimum across the two flights); option 2 will show R=0 (the minimum across the two flights).
