In other words, does each leg of a trip count as a flight for A-List? No, connecting flights all count as one trip. In order to count them as two (or more), you'd have to book separate tickets to each city. You can do this online for adding one extra destination as "multi-city" booking. Are you sure? My understanding is that using advanced search > multi-city will do the opposite of what is desired. For a segment to be tier-qualifying it needs an individual confirmation number, and using multi-city combines separate flights into one confirmation (like a regular connection, but unlike just booking those flights individually). I have booked multi-city (point to point is what i have heard it called) several times and I get 2 flights towards A List it's like 2 one ways on the same confirmation number. Ok, good to know -- thanks for the info! Looks like this might have changed with the update to the "next generation" reservation system in 2017 (I've read multiple reports of it not working this way, but they're all older). I'm wondering how the system distinguishes a custom-built connection from a "regular" one?
