yep... you only get segments based on how many flight coupons or tickets you have. If you have 1, you get 1 segment and miles for LHR-LAX direct. If you have your ticket as LHR-IAD-LAX in 2 seperate couponds, you'll get 2 segments and the respective miles</font>
tfung is right. Being on one flight number doesn't meant you'll get only one segment. It all depends on how you were ticketed. LHR-IAD-LAX issued on one flight coupon is one segment.
