The confusing thing to me is what AA is supposed to do with the "same connecting point" language. It would seem to be within policy not to route the passenger PHX-PHL-DBV, for example, or PHX-LHR-DBV, because the original itinerary, taken together, is PHX-HNL-etc...Are they supposed to re-route the passenger from the origin of the first ticket as directly as possible to the connecting point on the second ticket? Or treat the origin of the second ticket as the connecting point?
