But if you have to transfer between different airports - eg LHR to LGW, or DFW to Love Field - that is counted as a segment.
Sorry for being unclear. Certain airports are designated as co-terminals as follows. Any transfer between these are NOT counted as a segment on xRWSTARx (the main *A RTW product), thus more reasonable (IMO) than xONEx.
