Still, without the LHR-long Europe restriction, a couple of RTs to TLV or CAI/DME can get you within 1500 mi or so of LHR-MCT-LHR-IST-LHR. Not that European J on IB is all that swell, but IMO not a deal breaker.
I copied LEN over from the oneworld validator without checking what it was, as I assumed it to be St. Petersburg. Mea culpa.
I guess I could do TLV and CAI (both places I have been wanting to visit) from MAD, but on an AONEx it would be a bit of a waste. On a DONEx it means giving up Club World on one sector.
