CAI-LHR-DFW (stopover), DFW-HNL (vacation) HNL-DFW (stopover) DFW-LHR-CAI, with two stopovers at DFW and the HNL as a separate side trip (vacation).

All 6 segments in lie flat seats (3 AA, one upper deck BA 747), all in BA codes, all in I class:

~$1,800
21,400 BIS miles
5,350 EQDs
32,100 EQMs
48,150 RDMs with the EXP bonus.

The one think I learned with playing with it in Expedia is that it is easier to get stopovers in DFW and LAX, without it pricing higher. Routing via DFW would give you the most miles, and lie flats to HNL. PHX also has lie flats to HNL, but not LAX.
