SIN-SYD, BA 180 TPs
Giving you 680 TPs and the shiny plastic.

Edited to add this alt. routing:
MAN-LGW, BA 20 TPs
LGW-JFK, BA 180 TPs
JFK-LAX, AA 180 TPs
LAX-LHR, BA 180 TPs
LHR-SYD, BA 330 TPs
890 TPs, a few more if you split LHR-SYD. I might be stretching your a bit rules since you do go through LON twice, but not the same airports.

Yes, you go back on yourself with the alt routing so that fails the rules

and the first one is no longer possible as you know.

Interesting that you get 330 TPs if you do LHR-SYD on one ticket, but 360 if you break it up in to LHR-SIN, SIN-SYD, I never realised that before.
