Max mileage from my 6 sectors??

A question for all you experts out there. I am on a DONE4 at the moment and have my 6 US sectors to use, and want to get max mileage out of them. Now, I have to start and end in JFK and can only use destinations within the United States and Peurto Rico - no other countries, and can't do Hawaii as I came in from NRT.

I am looking at the following:
JFK - SFO - DFW - ANC - DFW - SJU - JFK

Can anyone think of a better routing (at least 400/500 miles better) than that - keeping to all the OW restrictions.

Thanks for any ideas.

What is a sector, and how do you use them?

I think the OP is referring to flight segments. This is more a oneworld issue with xONEx type fares.

In any case, this thread may assist: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...r-routing.html

If you can't go to any Caribbean or Central American/Mexican/Canadian cities, then I suspect you're doing about as good as you can.
