It's pretty straightforward: if you choose a USA departure here, on BA, you get 140k return in Y to Sydney, which means 140k 1w in J. If they weren't willing to let you book it (and it can only mean USA to SYD via LHR), why have a specific costing for it.

And if you choose a South West Pacific departure here, on a single partner, you get 80k return in Y to North America = 80k e/w in J.
