I need help deciphering an ITIN
 

I'm looking at booking a return trip on Engencia... well really it's round trip but the return is what I need help with. Can anybody tell me if this is a 4 leg trip or a 3 leg trip with 1 "through" flight? Do you get 4 segments for this?


Flint (FNT) to Detroit (DTW) 12/02/09 8:00 am - 8:48 am Northwest 3354 Operated By: MESABA AVIATION
Detroit (DTW) to Baltimore (BWI) 12/02/09 10:10 am - 11:52 am Northwest 2156
Baltimore (BWI) to Atlanta (ATL) 12/02/09 12:40 pm - 2:49 pm Delta 1885
Atlanta (ATL) to Gulfport (GPT) 12/02/09 4:00 pm - 4:27 pm Delta 1885

If you book the last two segments separately as multi-city so that your e-ticket has four "coupons" then it will be four segments. if you book it such that there is one flight number and one segment for the BWI-ATL-GPT flights, then it will only be three segments.

There was some discussion on this a few months ago.

How am I to know? I am a mere mortal and Egencia doesn't do a really good job of explaing this. I didn't use a Multi City Option, just a round trip option and this is what came up. I'm in no rush to get home and it would be fun, but If I'm only netting 3 segments rather than 4, then whats the point heh?

Be careful too and check the miles. I booked a TPA to LAS flight with a stop in Atlanta but the same flight number. The return was two separate flights with two separate numbers. I got 450 or so less miles on the TPA to LAS flight.
