And just to be crystal clear, if you travel by train from London to Paris, spend a few days in Paris, then travel by train from Paris to Nice, spend a few days in Nice, then travel by train to Madrid, where you get on a plane and fly to Doha, the entire ground journey, London-Paris-Nice-Madrid, counts as ONE flight segment in your ticket, even though you are really visiting and stopping at two cities along the way.
