Another trip down memory lane

I thought 20 sectors was the limit of paper tickets (i. e., a book of tickets can contain at most 5 conjuncted tickets), hence the limit of xONEx back then. Did I remember wrong?

Here is an early references on this forum to such of 26 segments.

oneworld RTW analysis...
My first AONE (~$4,000) was in 2002 and had 22 or 24 segments. My 2nd AONE had 24 segments (still have the paper coupons). There was an article in one of the main travel magazines such as Conde Nash, Travel & Leisure that mentioned a traveler who maxed out the flight segments in each continent. It was a LONE5 or LONE6. The famous AA agent, Sarah, was mentioned as well.
