Multi-City Trips

Overview

Not every trip is a simple A-to-B. Multi-city trips let you chain together multiple flight segments — connections, stopovers, open jaws — into a single trip container. MileIntel tracks each leg independently while keeping your full itinerary in one place.

Creating a Multi-City Trip

Option 1: Build from scratch

1. Create a new trip with your first origin and final destination.
2. Go to the Flights tab and add each segment individually (e.g., JFK to DFW, then DFW to PHX).
3. MileIntel orders them by departure time automatically.

Option 2: Auto-detected

If Gmail parsing picks up a multi-segment booking, MileIntel creates the trip with all legs already attached. Confirm the suggestion and you're done.

How Legs Are Connected

MileIntel analyzes the time between each segment's arrival and the next segment's departure:

• Tight connection (under MCT) — You'll see a warning if your layover is shorter than the airport's minimum connection time. The TCC connection intelligence feature assesses risk level.
• Standard connection — Connection time is displayed between legs. TCC gate-to-gate navigation activates during layovers.
• Stopover (8+ hours) — MileIntel treats longer gaps as stopovers and can surface destination context, dining, and local tips for the layover city.

What You See

Each leg shows its own flight card in the detail panel with independent status tracking. Gate changes on Leg 1 don't affect Leg 2's display — but if Leg 1 is delayed enough to threaten your connection, MileIntel flags it.

Key Details

• There's no limit on the number of segments per trip
• Each leg can be on a different airline — useful for award bookings across alliance partners
• TCC activates independently for each leg as its check-in window opens
• Loyalty tracking sums miles and credits across all segments

Tips

1. For positioning flights (e.g., flying to a hub to catch a better international fare), add both legs so MileIntel can assess your total connection risk.
2. On multi-carrier itineraries, add confirmation codes for each airline separately — they'll have different PNRs.
