I've done BNE-SYD-LAX-ATL-DXB. It was insane. However I'd booked the Australian flight first and then had to go on to Dubai. 5 hour transit in LAX gave me time for a shower in the lounge

(After a week in Dubai I then went on DXB-JNB-ATL-SNA, having the chance to do Delta's two longest flights in the same trip!)
