ORD is an option! Thanks!

Apologies, I left two important pieces out: the lax segement and that tus-san is a surface sector.

This route is already ticketed, so hopefully my bad typing is what threw it off.

Also:
As Christep has pointed out, up to six flights are allowed in North America, and therefore your only have three available for the Caribbean trip.
There are no direct Oneworld flights from SAN to any Caribbean or Central American destination
I know SAN is a disappointing "International" airport.

After all that, here’s my suggestion:
New York: SAN-JFK-xxx-LAX; separate flight or train* to get home to SAN
Caribbean: separate flight or train to LAX, then LAX-yyy-zzz-SAN
Possibilities for yyy are: BZE, MBJ, and a bunch of places in Mexico (CUN, MZT, MEX, PVR, SJD) – source “where we fly” on oneworld.com
I was hoping to get to the Eastern Caribbean, but BZE or CUN may be the better options.

All great ideas- thank you!

I am SO embarrassed to write this, but this entire time, I was under the impression that a surface sector counted as a segment. ugh.

Thank you!!
