Best of all is to take a Round The World fare. The,base business fare on oneworld (“DONE4”) starting in OSL is 40% lower than a straight LHR-SYD-LHR business class fare.
Indeed, I was looking into a US-Australia roundtrip in J and found it wasn't much more to book a RTW from OSL and replace a award flight from Europe to US with the beginning of that RTW ticket.
