Circle Pacific DCIR fares do not seem to have the price variability that the DONEx fares have.
22k, 26k and 29kSA fares are sold.
While your assumptions do seem to be/are valid, the mileage limitations will make getting to JFK/BOS on one end and BKK/SE Asia on the other an interesting challenge. KUL seems to be slightly less expensive than NRT.
I bought one (LCIR29SA ex KUL plus positioning) in 2018 for my brother in law who was gong to be staying in Oz longer than normal fares would accommodate and returning to the USA via Argentina. Alas he never did return to OZ using the tail end of the Circle Pacific ticket.
Sort of worked in the end as I was QFF Emerald at the time and was traveling as the tour guide.
Helped the annual mileage increase in wandering

Hi, -- I commute 3-4×/year roundtrip between BKK and BOS. I've been using OWEs for well over a decade, but I've just started reading about Circle Pacific fares, which could be significantly less expensive for me. On a very basic level, my understanding is:
  1. I can use them between SEAsia and North America.
  2. Both ocean crossings must be TPAC.
  3. One crossing must be northern, for example JFK/HKG.
  4. The other crossing must be southern, for example SYD/JFK.
  5. The fares are mileage-based rather than continent-based.
Have I missed anything significant?

ex-BKK, a DCIR22 (22k miles) base fare is currently USD 5549.92, a DCIR26 (26k miles) base fare is currently USD 6653.60, an IONE3 is USD 9292.01.

A very simple guess at a possible routing. Have not checked if Oneworld flight actually exist for all. But SEA-NRT(AS-HA) BKK-SYD(QF) and SYD-DFW(QF) do exist.
Getting under 22,000 miles would be a challenge with USA east coast.
Some people do have multiple OW RTW tickets on go at 1 time. Can be contra rotating. (E to W and other W to E, Pacific clockwise - Pacific anti clockwise]
As Japan is (currently) a cheap starting point could start - end in Japan. With a BOS-Japan positioning flight to start to sequence
FJ & AS(HA) have some interesting routes.

Route guess -->A map from the Great Circle Mapper - Great Circle Mapper
FJ network---> A map from the Great Circle Mapper - Great Circle Mapper
AS-HA routes (from 2023). Are more routes now.

Quick question if anyone has time to check EF (i let my subscription lapse due to not travelling for the past couple of years). I’m looking to find Circle Fare pricing for YVR/YYZ-HKG-SYD-YVR in either economy or business. I’m sure the pricing is better starting from HKG, but I can’t get any avios flights from YYZ to HKG. Thank you in advance for any fare information you can provide.

Ex-Canada, LCIR22 USD $2726, LCIR26 $3228. DCIR22 - $5810, DCIR26 $6958.

All USD, all plus taxes/fees. Note ex-HKG is very similar.
