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
