It really depends what anyone's needs are for Circling the Pacific. IMO, 1W fare is too steep since I can buy Polynesian Air's Circle the Pacific for about $450 in coach. Of course that's the price you pay for flying around the last few paradises on Earth. If your aim is to fly between USA, Asia and Australia then obviously Polynesian can't be of much assistance to you and you need to find another alternative but FWIW, Aerolineas Argentinas has some GREAT fares in the South Pacific (some biz fares even cheaper than coach despite QF codeshare).
