Note that even if you're somehow able to book those AY charter segments, they are served with a cattle only, fully packed 757s (close to 230 pax). Definately not something I would do with a LONE, not to mention D/AONE, just to (possibly) get few extra miles. I don't know about other OW FFPs but AY only gives some small fixed qty of points for their leisure flights.

In a nutshell, those flights might be fun to play with when trying to maximize the possible distance for a XONE3, but in real life, forget them
