I wonder if a better option would be to take JL which leaves at 11am (NRT) enjoy the full service (if older sky sleeper solo seat) and then go to bed in London?

Well of course there are many ways to skin this cat, all with positives and negatives.

For example TLV-LHR-YVR-JFK-MIA-DFW-SJD-LAX-HNL-HND-HKG-DPS-HKG-SIN-LHR-TLV would get you CX's F on YVR-JFK, but you'd need to hit LAS outside the RTW (very short, very cheap flight or a few hours in a car). I would think the A380 suites on QF would be ideal for a long overnight segment.

Or, you could play with reversing the route and see if the timing is more to your liking on some routes.
