What is a segment?
Have a question on what is a segment? I assume that a non-stop or direct flight from JFK to LAX is one segment. If you are flying from JFK-LHR or JFK-SYD or any flight from one cont. to another, does this count as a segment in the departing or arriving cont.

I assume you're asking about your use of segments in a [A/D/M]ONE style fare.
Section 11 "Routing" of the tarrif specifies the number of "Free flight segments within each continent". The wording says that only flights w/i a continent count towards the allocation.
Flights between continents do not count.

FF, a segment is one flight number. If you go from Dallas to New York via Chicago, and the flight number remains the same, it is one segment. If it changes, it is two segments. As 2mm said, intercontinental flights don't count as any segments when counting for the max allowable for a continent. I will even confuse you a little more, since it is kind of fun. 
If you flew STO-SFO via ORD on the same flight number, it is considered your intercontinental. If you change flight numbers in ORD, it is an intercontinental and a segment.
Good luck...
