SFO - ATL can be routed thru IAD easily for just under 6000 miles RT.
I have not tried to get too fancy (yet) with the routings... I did try to force JFK (for PS in first) and got denied.
If anyone gets some twisted routings, I'd love to hear it.
One question about DEQM... How does it play out here?
Is it (2x BIS) + (cos), which would be 250%... or 2x (BIS + cos) which would be 300%?
Are these fares gone? All I can find is $1100
Any other ideas for a MR in F out of SFO?
Found some fares filed under US Airways for US to Europe Travel - nothing spectacular but still $2,700 for August from BUR to ZRH. Looks like Continental matched this price. Seems Ok for summer period. Hope someone can use it.

long gone. they had them out of several cities in the midwest but the fares couldn't have been loaded for more than a couple of days. I was somewhat interested, thought about it for a few days and by the time I wanted to put an itin together they were all gone.
Granted this is nowhere near PEK...The absolute cheapest thing that I know of still working is the NW C3 fare from CMB-YVR. Unfortunately it does not allow stops in SIN/BKK or NRT like the CSPL. Last I looked it is roughly US$800 one way, routes on UL for the first/last segment to/from either BKK or SIN and then all NW metal from there. Dushanthi at Carsons in CMB can issue this for you, PM if you want contact info.
If you want something closer to NAsia, I'd look at MNL, TPE or ICN, although it's going to be more than $800. I think Hainan had some cheapish fares via their PEK-SEA service, not sure if those were available one way though. Good luck.
Some of the AC fares also have mileage run potential:
LAS-LAX-YYZ-YYT CA$418 AI OW 3989 base miles w/COS
MEX is also included in the AC sale. For those of us in the West, I found YEG-YVR-YYZ-MEX-YYZ-YVR-YEG for $1795 all-in July 10-13. By my math, approx 13,884 QM....not mileage run cheap, but not bad for all up front flying.
