DONE4 question: MIA-SEA direct?

[TtiGeR]

Hi,

Is it possible to include MIA-SEA as a single sector (i.e. not via DFW) in a DONE4 tkt?

When I use the OneWorld Planner tool, it shows Seattle as a "Direct flights" (green node) destination when Miami is selected. However, no direct flight is listed when I actually try to book one.

Cheers,

As near as I can tell there is a single direct service (AA2525) departing every afternoon except Sundays.

Actually, I see your point: there is a stopover in DFW, but as it is one flight number it will count as only 1 segment on an xONEx.

Thanks for the explanation. I found AA2525.

If you go via ORD, the MIA-ORD leg is good for SCs if crediting to QFF as it credits as 1200+ miles.

The other advantage of this routing would be saving up the single transcontinental allowance, which can be useful when thinking about maximising status credits. It does burn an extra segment, though.
