BNE-CTU-POM-BNE in single itinerary - Any Ideas??

[Sequel]

Here is a challenge for anyone with some spare time.

I need to leave BNE on either a Wed night or Thu AM to arrive in CTU (Chegndu, China) on Thu, leaving CTU Sun to arrive POM on Mon, and then returning to BNE at a later date.

The best I came up with:
BNE-QF551-SYD-CX138-HKG-KA820-CTU-KA821-HKG-CX111-SYD-QF351-POM-back to Aus on QF.

Suggested it to travel agent and she mentioned maybe a circle fare? Any other ideas?

Do you only want oneworld or related or do you just want to get there?

Oneworld is preference, *A is ok, getting CTU Thur, Leaving CTU Sun and getting to POM Mon is the important part. If I can't get there then I will get no points at all!

DO you have the ITA trip planner link? I ran that through and it came up with some options - too many to list here. You could do that and see what routings are available and then sub in OW flights -e.g. it suggested BNE-SYD-PEK-CTU (last segment on china air :shock but BNE-SYD was on DJ so you could sub in QF.

If you could construct the bulk of the flights around a bne-syd-hkg-ngo-bne circle asia and then put in some other flights to connect to CTU and POM that migth keep cost down...

DO you have the ITA trip planner link?

No, can you paste the link or do you need some kind of access? I have been using Class Availability Airline Flight Reservations (trying different one way paths) and the Air Niugini schedule.
