pandaperth Mwenenzi Thank you for all of this!!

I think I caused a lot of confusion with how I wrote this out. Apologies. I blame my friend, wine.Thank you for the // pointer to indicate a surface segment.

If I am understanding you guys: DFW-LAX does not have to be a surface segment, which makes sense.

NBO has to be in there. We are picking up a safari from there. Well, technically from Wilson.

My mistake with the last section. I thought I saw LAX-MAD-BCN on AA, but it doesn’t exist, so I would make the last part LAX-DFW-BCN

So, lets see if I can write this out more clearly:

OSL-xDOH-NBO-xDOH-SGN-HGK-LAX-JFK-xDFW-LAX-LIR-LAX-xDFW-BCN-xHEL-OSL

So, DOH (both times), DFW (both times) and HEL are all transit.

If the above doesn’t work under rule 8, I could finish with LAX-HEL-OSL on AY with AA codeshare

Thinking I could add another stopover in Asia to get to 16 segments?
