6. LAX-DFW 60TP
7. DFW-ANC 180TP
8. ANC-DFW 180TP
9. DFW-HNL 180TP

This will give you a total of 840TP within North America alone. Maybe this can still be improved by having some obscure transcon flights which are not on the transcon list.

From HNL you continue onward to NRT where you do your CGK and HKG trips.

Didn't the OP want to depart "next month"? The direct DFW<>ANC flights don't commence until May 1st, IIRC.
