Was just looking at the SQ board, and found out SQ has something like $3,800 RTW fare on business class using SQ only. Anyone know I can find similar pricing on CX/AA anywhere on the web?

Do a search for RTW on the oneworld board. (Or just browse the oneworld board.)

Not anymore. CX had, at one time, a RTW in conjunction with TWA before AA bought them over. The fares were very good, a F RTW was in the region of around US$3000.

The fare existed till mid 2002 with all TW flights absorbed to be reissued as AA flights. (I issued one just before CX ceased the fare).

Anyway, CX combinations with AA exist with the Oneworld fares only.

As well as the OW fares, CX has RTW fares available with each of CO, UA and VS.

Problem is that these fares are in line with Oneworld RTW fares, so it's better value to get the latter. eg CX-UA RTW is excatly the same as a 3 continent Oneworld RTW.

Don't know the current rules, but didn't the SQ RTW fare (a year or so ago) mean a surface sector JFK-LAX? Not a real RTW fare at all.

SQ's fare is still a RTW because you basically had to find your own way from one coast to another in order to catch the onward SQ flight.
