I haven't actually flown any of these, but in my preparation for my first DONE, I have collected these over the last three months, modified them, and toyed with them. I want 66,667 AA EQP for EXP, then post any extra AA miles to AS to get MVP. I don't care where I start.

My most recent DONE4 as follows:

BNE-LAX-DFW (QF 744, AA 763)
DFW-SJC (AA 752)
SJC-DFW (AA MD80)
DFW-ORD (AA MD80)
ORD-LAX (AA 763) (QF codeshare)
LAX-JFK-LHR-HEL (QF 744, BA 744, BA A319)
HEL-LHR (BA A320)
LHR-FRA (BA 763) (QF codeshare)
FRA-LHR (BA 763) (QF codeshare)
LHR-SIN-MEL-BNE (QF 744, QF 744, QF 734)

15 sectors all credited to QF and used to requalify WP status. Taxes totaled A$660.98. Total cost including taxes A$8802.14. Chose QF flights and codeshares where possible to maximise corporare discount. 79,973 QF FF points earned, 1060 Status Credits earned.

Here are a couple I concocted. Our own first DONE4 starts in January - point of departure TBA (WAW? IST? KRK? Or how about PRN? Stay tuned.)

IST-MAD-SCL-IPC-SCL-LAX-BOS-DFW-ANC-DFW-SJU-JFK-SYD-PER-NRT-HKG-NRT-LHR-DXB-LHR-IST, 67,575 mi.

SYD-JNB-NBO-JNB-LHR-DXB-LHR-IST-LHR-LAX-BOS-DFW-ANC-ORD-PHX-JFK-HKG-DEL-HKG-NRT-SYD, 64,591 mi.

PER-NRT-HKG-DEL-HKG-JNB-LHR-DXB-LHR-IST-MAD-SCL-IPC-SCL-CCS-SCL-AKL-MEL-CNS-PER, 62,382 mi.

Somebody catch me if I've made any boo-boos. Useful brain challenge.

Why would you go LHR-YUL-ORD in J when you could go LHR-YYZ-ORD in F on BA? I suppose Montreal has its charms, but not in October (when a foot of snow is possible, albeit unlikely).

Am currently in LNK (which is the point of the whole trip)
Supposed to be going LNK-ORD AA in Y on Dec 25, but AA stop flying this route next week. They have re-booked the ticket with UA on Dec 25 to ORD so hopefully I'll be able to make the connection back to OZ. To continue...

ORD-LNK AA(UA) Y
ORD-LAX AA F
LAX-SYD QF J (Will W/L for an upgrade to F (Z))
SYD-ADL QF J

Total 20 flights. All miles credited to QFF. Enough to retain WP fot this year.

From memory I think that the miles come to about 45,000

I am taking a stopover after the 1st segment of my new RTW (1-Oct CAI-LHR) by returning to the US on an award ticket that I made last Oct 2003. In Oct, the flight to Montreal leaves after 5PM while the Toronto flight leaves a few hours earlier. Should have noted that in the routining.

Not quite a RTW, but a good Circle Pacific in May 04:

BNE-SYD (QF 738) 467 miles 1,250 points 30 SCs
SYD-LAX (QF 744) 7,488 miles 16,855 points 160 SCs
LAX-LAS (AA S80) 236 miles 1,250 points 30 SCs
LAS-DFW (AA 752) 1,055 miles 2,633 points 60 SCs (magic 1,000 mile mark)
DFW-SFO (AA S80) 1,464 miles 3,653 points 60 SCs
SFO-HKG (CX 744) 6,927 miles 8,648 points 160 SCs (if booked AA add 6,918 status points. Ouch!)
HKG-BNE (QF 763) 4,306 miles 9,684 points 100 SCs

Total 21,943 miles, 43,973 points, and 600 QF Status Credits.

An option was CX102 HKG-CNS, then QF CNS-BNE. On the day I wanted to fly, CX102 was direct, so took QF098 instead. If available, this would be 21,950 miles, and 630 status credits. Conversely, the HKG-CNS would earn no status bonus points.

Remember - if you want QF status bonus points, book any CX flights with the AA or BA codeshare where possible.

Could you please explain...as I understood the conditions, you earn SCs on QF, FJ and any other OW member airlines.

I think what willyroo meant is that if you book CX flights under the BA or AA designators you'll get bonus points, rather than status credits. Eg 100% bonus points for using the BA flight #, plus relevant class of service bonus.
