Could easily fit under the maximum mileage of DGLOBxx, which opens up having more segments in europe, non-oneworld airlines, etc.
Cheers- will check that out. Hope it's not too much more expensive on the DGLOBxx. The NRT sectors are contingent on JL joining oneworld though, whether DONEx or DGLOBxx. Have to maximise the QF SCs.

edited to add - Just checked it out. It's distance-based (up to 34 000 miles for D and much more expensive :S), so that wouldn;t work for my itinerary as it involves lots of backtracking. Also, it doesn't include Alaskan airlines which is what I need to get to/from SEA. Getting 2 extra sectors in Europe doesn't seem too bad if I buy them in economy.
