My guess is they're counting BOS-LGA, JFK-LHR as 3 segments, whereas the OW site counted this as two. My understanding of the fare rules is that it talks about "city pairs" and therefore this should be two segments, as the system thought also.

Does anyone have experience with this and how was it resolved?
LGA-JFK is a separate segment.
From the rules:
A minimum of three and a maximum of 16 segments, including surface segments between any two airports, are permitted for the entire journey.
The concept of coterminals does not apply to Oneworld explorer tickets since the advent of e-tickets.
