The rule is

Code:

/VIA THE PACIFIC/ MPM 12078
MILEAGE SYSTEM APPLIES BETWEEN ORIGIN AND DESTINATION
 MILEAGE SYSTEM APPLIES ORIGIN TO DESTINATION
       TICKETED POINT DEDUCTION OF 800 MILES APPLIES
       WHEN TRAVEL IS VIA HNL
       TICKETED POINT DEDUCTION OF 2000 MILES APPLIES
       WHEN TRAVEL IS VIA DFW OR LAX

and NYC-DFW-LAX-TYO-SYD-CGK still incurs the 20% penalty.

Meanwhile...

*A is actually better, thanks to the common Pacific template having an extra SFO after the HNL agglomeration.

I could probably do slightly better but ITA is starting to smoke a bit

20,503 miles one-way on *A - you should be able to do a mirror return. Note I am pricing with inventory validation off, so you probably can't fly these literal dates.
