I'm trying to figure out how to do this without even taking my roller

I'm certainly not checking a bag! I may make use of free standby on the two triangles, and don't want a bag following me around

Can we convince you to check a bag and write a trip report?

The booking windows for EYW3 had past, hence any new booking will just be Segment or Mileage Run and not toward this round of EYW

DrunkCargo is likely going to beat me, if he has even one trip that was booked during the window. So I have competition

Yeah. There's a reason I waited before posting anything about my trip. At the risk of looking even more insane, here's the itinerary:

SFO-YYZ-YWG-YQR-YWG-YXE-YWG-YYZ-YQB-YUL-YHZ-YUL-YQB-YUL-YHZ-YUL-YQB-YUL-YWG-YQR-YWG-YXE-YEG-YVR-YEG-YYC-YEG-YWG-YEG-YXE-YYC-YEG-YYZ-YQB-YUL-YQB-YOW-YUL-YHZ-YQY-YHZ-YOW-YQB-YYZ-YWG-YQR-YVR-YEG-YXE-YEG-YYC-YEG-YXE-YEG-YWG-YXE-YWG-YQR-YWG-YXE-YWG-YYZ-YHZ-YUL-YHZ-YOW-YUL-YYZ-SFO

Badge breakdown:
Code:
 4 x YVR           | points:    600
12 x YQB           | points:   2400
12 x YHZ           | points:   2400
 2 x YQY           | points:    300
18 x YUL           | points:   2700
 6 x YOW           | points:   1200
 8 x YQR           | points:   1600
22 x YWG           | points:   4400
18 x YEG           | points:   3600
12 x YYZ           | points:   1800
 2 x SFO           | points:    800
 6 x YYC           | points:    900
14 x YXE           | points:   2800
23 x Scenic Drive  | points:  46000
20 x Prairie       | points:  40000

 1 x Velocity      | points:   5000
 1 x Shooting Star | points:   2000
 1 x Rising Star   | points:   2000
 1 x Mega Star     | points:   2000

                      Total: 122500
I think I'll earn 1400 wings this weekend, so I should be at 123,900 total, assuming no IRROPS .

Too bad you need to post this to AE for EYW, or you could almost have platinum or 1k status with UA after your run.

I assume you have an excuse for flying between SFO and YYZ direct? Doesn't seem like the man we know.

Happy trails.

On the way there, because YVR isn't permitted in the SFO-YQR fare.

On the way back, because I can use my time in better ways to earn wings than routing differently.

Believe me, this was all done very intentionally

Only here will this itinerary be believed.

Any agent looking at your PNR will be unable to avoid shaking their heads. The FAs will stare while trying to be discrete. You will be served meals with plastic cutlery--just in case.

Only here will we nod our heads, think "nice work", and understand that this is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Please do a trip report or, better yet, a twitter commentary as you go.
