Hi. I just received a schedule change where two flights from BWI to GRR (1135 and 1501) have been changed to 1135 as a one-stop.
I thought this means it will now be considered 1 segment instead of 2. Problem is, this is the last NWA flight I was planning to take this year, which, if true, would leave me at 29 segments instead of 30.

I tried to call for schedule change but it's under an hour so got the drill that I'd have to pay change fee and difference in price. The agent, after checking with supervisor, also said the one-stop 1135 would still be 2 segments. If this is true, there's no problem. But I'm doubtful (seems I've been through this before, though it could've been before I cared about segments and that I got 537 miles for a BWI-GRR one-stop instead of the expected 1000).

Can anyone shed light before I get back on the phone? Thanks.
