TLL, RIX, VNO, and HEL aren't all that far from one another; rather similarly, I did DCA-JFK-LAX-SEA//overnight//SEA-LAX-OAK-LAX-SEA//overnight//SEA-LAX-SJC//overnight//SJC-LAX-SEA-JFK-DCA as part of DL's "Double MQM for SEA" promo in Dec 2013

NRT trip. Three consecutive SEA-IAH redeyes is not recommended. Best part was the same FAs on nights 2 & 3; the one was VERY confused when she saw me again.

I'm presuming this was an MR taking advantage of a BWI-SEA sale fare, but then you dumped the last BWI leg and went IAH-NRT after the third SEA-IAH redeye? the term "MR masochist" comes to mind

About 12 hours shorter on the return because of shorter layovers.
even ONE instance of that must have been brutal
