oneworld4u, I would be happy to accept that LGW-LHR is a "segment", if the home carrier (BA) was willing to accept that they should provide a flight number so I can include it in my itinerary. Then most most OneWorld airline's FF programes would also provide some form of minimum miles/points/tier/status credits etc. Currently QF offer a minimum 1000 FF points for their top-tier FF members, and AA offer a minimum 500 Elite Qualifying Points (EQP) per segment flown. So if LGW/LHR is seem as one of the maximum 16 sectors of a OneWorld Explorer, then why not at least provide a consistent FF points/miles etc. payment for a "segment" that only seems to exist as a result of product devaluation.
