Circle Pacific Help Needed
My home airport is DFW. I need to travel to Bangkok and Sydney (possibly Perth) in business class. What is my best option in terms of cost?

Try going to an asian travel agent where they might be able to offer discounted business class fares on CX. I am not sure if this is available from the US, but it is from Canada.

Your itinerary fits the CircPac 26K ticket (about 23500 miles or thereabouts). It still may be cheaper than a J OW fare. If you can get the trip down to 22K miles, that fare is best value. You may be best starting the J trip in LAX (and getting a "cheap" fare DFW-LAX-DFW) so you can squeeze in BKK and PER.
You certainly can go SYD AKL LAX DFW YVR HKG SYD for the 22K - but BKK and PER just don't make the 22K cut-off.
