Gleff had a good one with that ANC one. I did a BKK-NRT-GUM-CNS-GUM-NRT-BKK on a 25K award that totaled 13,000+ base miles; if it were a paid ticket with gold status, it'd earn 25,000+. CO was so unhappy they upped the award requirements. But you can still fly BKK-NRT-GUM-MAJ-GUM-NRT-BKK and have the numbers work out. Unfortunately the paid ticket would be expensive.
