Does someone give you a separate e-ticket? Do you get a paper ticket with 17 or 18 segments?
They will replace the segment with what is needed. For example I had SAN-JFK-BGI-JFK-HKG ticketed for travel this year but AA cancelled the JFK-BGI direct flights and automatically rebooked me to SAN-MIA-BGI-MIA-JFK-HKG. My 16 segment ticket became 17 segments. The problem is I didn't want those flights, but they couldn't change it since it was 17 segments. I needed to fly at least one segment to get it back to 16 before they could change it.
