Its a good thing I learned much from FT since then. My last DONE4 was BNE-LAX-DFW-SJC-DFW-ORD-LAX-JFK-LHR-HEL-LHR-FRA-LHR-SIN-MEL-BNE. Much better use of the same fare thanks to my FT-gained knowledge and wisdom ^ .
Pah! Is that the worst you can do?? In May 2000 I used an MONE4 to fly MEL-LAX-BNA-ORD-LHR. I did intend to fly LHR-SIN-MEL but never got round to it. I didn't even use the four segments I had in Europe, let alone the six I had in NA. I am ashamed to this day, especially as I had quit my job in April and was moving to London to start a new one in September, meaning that not only did I have the ticket, but I also had the
time to do rather more creative routings. And back in the day, they were full mileage-earners. Mea culpa.
