Threy: The agent I spoke to on the Elite helpdesk talked to several other agents including supervisor and accounts department, who all seemed reasonably clear that it is one-way trip rather than one segment.
Maybe one of the FD lurkers might help here?

Mike: I suspect that it was on different locator because the DUB-LAX is a KL fare (no bookable NW fare out of DUB) and the ORD-BNA fare a NW one (no bookable KL fare on ORD-BNA). Booked through a TA rather than online (it would've been cheaper online through expedia, but I had to book through a TA because of corporate policy)

What I do not understand is why the NW locator contains the AMS-DUB segment on the return and not the DUB-AMS on the way out.
Had they left the AMS-DUB out of the NW locator, it would have been a return itinerary (I would still have had the problem of the ORD-DNA segments in the middle though)

Thanks for your generous offer, but I can survive the domestic US segments in coach. Keep this handful of miles. You never know when they might be handy ( )Hopefully, some of them will be upgraded anyway through PE status.
