Sometimes I think .bomb gets confused and thinks the "turn" in quick-turn/same-day round-trips or open-jaws is in the airport with the longest connection time, regardless of the actual O&D fare booked.

So depending on connection times this trip might also be seen as SEA-ORD and ORD-BDL-IAD-SFO, in which case you would get great usage out of 4 e500s.

Highly doubt it will be seen as essentially a single direction SEA-SFO.

Luckily I will be 1K at that point.. so I'll let you know if it clears ahead of time and how much I am charged!

Schedule change... no more SEA-ORD-BDL segments... now it's SEA-IAD-BDL which broke the connectivity and I no longer have the 4 segments as all connecting. Bummer.
