I believe Gardyloo meant don't do it as part of the
One
World
Explorer ticket, because, as you say, it's not the best use of a segment,
certainly not on an AONEx or DONEx, as it's all coach, and not vis-a-vis the proposed itinerary, as it's probably the cheapest of the segments to purchase separately.

Can't speak for the OP, but generally I don't believe the AONE6's are very good value. The price differential over an AONE5 is pretty large (larger than the 4-5 dif., I think), and you are still subject to the 20-segment max, which limits you to less than 4 segments on several continents, so you're really only getting one additional long-haul flight. Yes, you can probably get more total mileage on a xONE6 than a xONE5, but I don't believe the extra cost justifies it. JMHO.
