If I should be looking at other airlines, please say so.
You really need to price the trip a few different ways to determine the best value: a oneworld award bought with AA miles; a series of one-way awards, all bought with AA miles; and a series of one-way awards, with the TPAC portions (WAS-TYO and BKK-WAS) bought with AA miles, and the intra-Asia portions bought with BA Avios, taking into account the fuel surcharges assessed by BA.
