Not sure about timing, or if alliance ticketing restrictions are in play, but something like AKL-LHR-DXB-(BNE)-AKL might be a contender.
Taking the nonstop DXB-AKL would be quicker.
Reminds me of the time
tht and I flew 23k flying AKL-LHR-AKL (via LAX and HKG) to go
around the world in under 60 hours (link to TR). At the time Air NZ flew LHR-HKG-AKL as well as AKL-LAX-LHR, but now you'd need to take another airline (e.g. CX) for at least leg. On that trip I even had time for a side trip to BHD (taking mileage to 24k).
