Thank you both for taking me back 15+ years to some great memories. My first OneWorld Explorer ticket was an AONE4 ex-MRU, at the time the cheapest place to start one. Back then these tickets were issued locally by the airline office at the point of departure. The BA staff at MRU wasn't particularly familiar with the rules, so one could often get them to issue tickets for itineraries not permitted by the rules. There was a daily 744 roundtrip LHR-MRU.
