RTW - How many legs did you fly?

[Capt. Clarence Oveur]

Hi All..... Clarence here

Starting up a thread of curiosity out there.... How many legs did you fly in your RTW booking and let's see who has flown the most legs and share any interesting stories from that trip?
Kicking it off - Back in 2015, I flew for a holiday over 40 days RTW - 8 legs: BNE-SFO//LAS-JFK-MIA-LHR-CDG-LHR-HKG-BNE.
Took the family and used the OWA. Great trip!

My standard DONE4 involves the maximum17 sectors. Including nested other flights, could be as many as mid 20s - such as this one. at 23.

HBA-MEL-BNE-SYD-LAX-JFK-DFW-HSV-DFW-MEX-LAX-DOH-IST-MLA-MUC-BRU-GVA-HEL-KIX-TPE-NRT-SIN-MEL-HBA

The most legs I've got onto a single RTW ticket was 11, which I've done twice. Both booked as Oneworld Classic Flight Rewards.

The first was SYD-BNE-ADL-KUL-PEK-NRT-CDG-LHR-GIG-MIA-DFW-SYD
The second was HAM-MAD-GRU-SCL-SYD-CBR-SYD-JNB/WDH-DOH-DEL-HEL-VIE

Oneworld business award in 2019 was MEL-SIN-HKG-LHR-FCO-MAD-RAK/CMN-MAD-SCL-SYD-MEL so 10 flights but only 5 stops.

Back in the day, I almost maxed out a paper ticketed DONE4 from CMB..
19 segments over two booklets and 5 line sticker for tax codings. All done over four trips from July 2006 to March 2007.

Positioned SYD-SIN-CMB
Then
CMB-HKG-LHR-BCN-IST-LHR-SFO-JFK-DFW-ANC-DFW-LGA,JFK-SYD(12)
Then a break
SYD-PER-ADL(14)
Then economy back to SYD, another break, economy to ADL
ADL-AKL-SYD (16)
Then another break
SYD-PEK-HKG-CMB (19)
And CMB-SIN-SYD home.

Made QF Plat for the first time with the first flight back to Sydney. Helped in those days with those AA flights counting as F, particularly the ANC hops.

Couple of years later did a 16-segment and 12-segment DONE4 ex-KHI back to back over two years.

2019 SYD-HKG-DUB-LHR-INN-MXP-VCE-BCN-MAD-SIN-SYD. My one and only Oneworld Classic in Business and I got the bug.
I was planning another, but at the moment not game to book another one.

SIN-HKG-JFK-IAD-SJC/SFO-LAX-DUB-LHR-ATH-MAD-HEL-BKK-SIN

About 4 weeks.

For paid OneWorld Explorer tickets, I certainly have hit the maximum segment limit a few times. But so many taken over many years that I can't remember specific maximum routing.

My most maxed-out award included some "ground" sectors. Maximum segments, maximum stopovers. This was for 7 passengers:

BNE-AKL-LAX (was single segment on QF25)
LAS-LAX-DFW-ORD
YYZ-LHR-KBP
KBP-LHR-NCL (2 of the pax went YYZ-LHR-ARN-LHR-NCL)
BER-HAM-HEL
HEL-FRA-SIN-SYD-BNE
