nw.com flight segment display

Is there a way to get the website to display more than 4 segments? I would like to use it to "force" the routing both to and from Europe using eith MSP or MEM (rather than DTW)
Thanx

Depending on what type of routing you want, choose "multi city" on the home page. Then build your own connections and pray to the pricing gods that the system prices it as a through-fare instead of point-to-point!

By the way, even Worldspan, NW's CRS, only shows a max of three flights. Anything else has to be built manually. It's no big deal, just a bit more work. If you wanted to fly form Augusta, Georgia to Sarajeveo, you (or the Reservations agent) would have to build a connection AGS-ATL-MSP-AMS then add AMS-ZAG(?)-SJJ. It would still price as a through-fare, just have to be a paper ticket with conjuncted tickets.

This might belong in MR, but are there any guidelines to follow when using multi-city so that the fare prices as a through fare, and not a bunch of point to points?

Not that I have this booked this winter or anything. ;-)
