I'm writing from MD, after having attempted the following routing: ALB-LGA-PHL-BWI, on US. It was funny when I checked in this morning. The check-in agent looked at my ticket, asked "You're going to Baltimore??", and then said "Well, let's change this routing...". I politely but firmly said "Actually, I prefer to leave it as is", and she left it alone. I booked this on the US site.

Unfortunately, the first segment never left Albany. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we're having equipment problems. Some birds built a nest in the tail section and maintenance is in the process of removing it" - first time I've heard that one! I rebooked a direct ALB-PHL leg and lost 500 miles.

I'm trying the same three segment booking back to Albany in the morning. Hope it works.
