Married Segments on ET
I've been booking award flights for many years, but with every booking I learn something new.
Looking for JFK-ADD flight on ET, no availability. However, the flight makes a stop in ABJ, and it's available JFK-ABJ, ABJ-ADD.
I called NH to inquire about the rest of the itinerary (ADD-KIG, KIG-ADD-NYC), and was told that I was breaking up married segments, and may be denied boarding at the airport if I book it like that.
That obviously puts a massive dent in my plans.
Is she right?
The only info I've found online is about breaking married segments... and I'm not trying to do that..
If this is ticketed, is there a possibility I may be denied boarding?

ET does market JFK-ABJ as a stand alone flight.
It would be the
It would be the
21:00 New York(JFK) 12:05 +1day Abidjan
13:05 Abidjan 22:20 Addis Ababa
on the same ET513 flight... not sure passengers flying to ADD deplane during the stop, probably not?
I spoke to the second NH agent who said no problem. Now on hold for the supervisor to deliver the final ruling.
