returning, I am going via ORD (was best fare and time that way) but only getting 2 x 60 even though total distance is same (if not slightly more).......
And just to add to the confusion, I believe I'm correct to say that if the ORD-LAX sector has the same flight number as EWR-ORD, even if you're required to change aircraft, then it counts as one "direct" (but not non-stop) flight of more than 2,000 miles so you get 180 TP's not 120. Go figure the logic of that!
