Is this definitely the case, or a mis-interpretation by one of the call centre agents? Very sad if true.
I still find it bizarre that the rules are such that if you arrive into say JFK, and your destination only gives the option of departing from LGA, or EWR that you have to use a surface segment.
Fairs fair, they must do what is commericially best for them but to say that EWR and JFK are considered to be seperate when it comes down to surface segments but are considered the same for P-o-O reasons is simply unfair.
