For 3800 CAD round trip, I'd be looking for a cheap J fare on basically any airline.
If you have fixed dates and destinations AND connection points, you are no longer able to get "cheap" flights.

Nothing quite that cheap in J that accomplished OP's goals (crappy itineraries ~$4,200+, decent ones >$5K), but I agree that it would be better to spend a bit more and fly J. Then again, OP hasn't said anything about what budget (s)he has in mind.

Thanks for the follow ups. Looking to use a 3K AC gift card on departure for me and my spouse on a flex fare so we can upgrade (currently SE), and use AE on way home in order to see the pyramids MNL-BKK-CAI-YYZ (currently available in J with 20 hours in Cairo) as long as MPM works out. Appreciate the help on this one, going to book the departure via ICN suggested above.

That'll likely be very expensive. One way revenue fares are often more expensive than a RT. You might want to simply consider purchasing a *A Round The World ticket. Your 3 stops can be ICN, the Philippines, and Egypt. If you book it all on 014 stock you'd get AQD for everything. Not sure if the RTW will book into flex or not, but you might just want to buy the business one.
