On most airlines, it's based on beginning and end by flight number. So if I fly CHA-CLT-MCI on one flight number, I get only the miles for the distance between Chattanooga and Kansas City. If it's two separate flight numbers, I get the 500 minimum for Chattanooga to Charlotte, then the distance from Charlotte to K. C.
