Shows both segments and total miles when seaching to book. But shows as on 6 stickers to upgrade, which make me think I would only get the straightline miles. Trying to make Platinum again, and LGA-SEA though DWF gives me exactly the number of miles I need. Thanks.
LGA-SEA is 2413 Miles. 5 500mile upgrades
LGA-DFW is 1389 Miles 3 Upgrades
DFW-SEA is 1660 Miles 4 upgrades.

So it seems like it should either be 7 upgrades or 5, not sure where 6 comes from. Unless Flying fish is off by 2 miles
