In the last year or so, the rules for xONEx's changed to include surface segments(/open jaws) in the 20 segment limit.

This has led to an issue regarding co-terminals where some oneworld member airlines consider the use of co-terminals to be a surface segment while others do not.

e.g. I know one airline considers the following route to be 6 segments, while another believes it to be 4 only:

ORD-LHR,LGW-DBV-LGW,xLHR-SIN

Note, that while the first airline believes it to be six, they consider no UK APD is payable for DBV-LGA,xLHR-SIN.

Can you please shed some light on which interpretation is the correct one?
