Ahhh, for the good old days of MR'ing. 9 segment USAir FC SFO-FPT (loved that PHL-DCA/BWI 86 mile segment for the minimum 500 x 3 earn) for bmi and LH award miles and status jackpots; SFO-JFK-NRT RT's for the extra EQM's and RDM's for little or no extra cost; aa.com almost always gave me SFO-DFW-MIA-DFW-ZRH for my Euro trips. Sadly (well maybe not so sad) all gone now. Your routing was a disaster waiting to happen with potential IRROPS, misconnects and possible luggage issues. All of which cost money to solve. Keep your expectations in check.
