(see all the threads about trying to combine a Mint flight with a non-mint flight on one PNR where there's no thru fare filed).
Well, I'm not sure if it's helpful, but the fare basis on the ticket I ended up purchasing shows "MVY - BWI (PL2AUEL1)" And not sure if it is relevant but it's the same equipment (E190) and fare (Blue Basic) for both legs. And if the issue is attributable to what you describe, it would have been nice if any one of the Twitter Team, Online Chat or Phone assistance, could have told me that. I'm not really miffed at all, just amazed at the incredibly awful customer service. But then again, there's an entire thread about that...
