A bit confused about the limits on stopovers and transfers in these awards. I have done several multicarrier awards on AA until they stopped them in Apr. If there are 5 stopovers and 2 transfers + 2 open jaws, then one has 9 or 10 flight segments instead of the 16 segments allowed on AA. Is this correct? Can one pass thru a city more than 2 times (the limit on AA)? It seems that the 2 transfer limit makes for difficult route planning unless a transfer can be considered a stopover instead? Does the mileage between the open jaw segments count when determining the total mileage (it did not on AA).
