Hey guys,

Quick question:
Assume for example that I have a 1 day trip to Dubai, followed by a 4 day trip to Geneva, followed by a trip to NYC.

It seems to me that the cheapest option would be to book DOH-DXB-MXP-JFK-DXB-DOH (round trip in business saver) and book the MXP-Geneva-MXP separately vs. DOH-DXB-Geneva, MXP-JFK-DXB-DOH (with a separate Geneva-MXP ticket).

I was wondering if there was a way to do the first option on the same ticket i.e. include the MXP-GEN return in the EK ticket (the online travel reservation websites do not allow a search for so many legs). I don't mind booking separately, but my only concern is what would happen if the Geneva - MXP plane got so delayed that I missed the MXP-JFK flight? Given that they are not on the same ticket, it would be my fault in EK's eyes rather than the other airline's so I wouldn't just get shifted for another flight for free.

I know I may have explained this very poorly lol but would love your help!
