Do you earn 1 or 2 qualifying flights if there is a stop without change of aircraft?
On a normal connection, e.g. CPH-ARN-ORD, you would be credited for 2 one-way flights for qualifying purposes. But what about flights with stops that have the same plane and same flight number on each leg, e.g. SK4576 TRD-BOO-TOS?
Moreover, assuming that flying both legs of such a flight would only earn 1 one-way flight credit, what if you bought two separate tickets for each of the legs separately? Would this allow you to earn 2 flights? Certainly you would have to deplane and reboard again, which I assume would not be a problem. |

AES (for TRD-AES-BGO) might be difficult, as well as MOL/KSU (for WF flights BGO-MOL-KSU-BGO or TRD-AES-KSU-TRD), as you usually will have to reclear security - not set up for connecting passengers. A request to the ground staff explaining the situation, will usually allow being taken directly to departures. But as I stated: an expensive way to get extra legs! |
In most FF programs, what matters is whether there's a change of flight number or not, assuming that everything is on the same ticket/PNR. It doesn't matter whether or not you change planes, have one boarding pass, etc. The term is direct flight. |
