Trying to set a world record DONE3
 
Was thinking of setting a world record for the longest possible mileage for DONE3. Any help?

Hoping to start at SIN or HKG or any Asian country

read that post already. Have some idea. There used to be a mileage monkey tool that gives the longest routing for each continent. But seems like the tool is no longer being updated.

Mileage Monkey is a tool which can be use to would out valid routing as well as calcuate disctaion, miles and status earn.

It has moved here (thanks to SLF): http://www.slfft.org/0.95022/award.htm

Edit:
SLF updated MM about 1 hour ago ^ http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...l#post20206864

But may not 100% correct. SLF has tough job to keep routes up to date

Isn't this kind of a (sorry!) ridiculous OP? I mean, it's a bit like saying 'I was thinking of setting a world record for the 100 metres; any help?' What kind of a 'record-setter' are you if other people do much - some - any of the work for you?!? The process is simple but not easy: You need to (a) master the rules of the xONEx; (b) study (i.e., search) this forum and learn from the experience of those who have gone before; (c) put together a mind-boggling itinerary by means of which you dazzle the assembled crowd with your world-record-setting brilliance -- and (d) only then ask if anyone might be able to help you with 'tweaking' it. So far, it looks like you've done buzzer all.

Just saying.

cheers,

Henry

I've just submitted a request to the Guiness Book of Records. They are coming back to me after 4-6 weeks after they have evaluated my claim to see if I can do this as a record. My CLAIM ID: 419038. Let's see what they say....

Totally agreed. The carriers, rules and possible routes change from time to time. A long route today can be gone in 3 months time. A new carrier (e.g MH QR) or a merged carrier (US/AA) changes route possibilities.

From post 3 looks likes he/she did not even bother to google Mileage Monkey
