I was looking for reasonable Biz fares to eastern europe from SE Asia and I found some interesting Aeroflot fares ex-HKG. I see fares HKG-SVO (on a 767) for about US$1600 and if you want to enjoy some time on a Tupolev you can go HKG-SVO-IST for just a bit more. I pulled these up on Zuji.
I just tried the UA site and ITA and the Business fares and F with UA are now GONE>>>>>>>>
Can anyone find them?
I've been having the same problem. Gone from Expedia.co.uk as well. I should have gone ahead and booked while I still had the chance (unless anybody can find them still)
Programs: TSA/INS/FBI Platinum (stopped last 12 of 13 int'l returns - the computer broke once)

Malev Hungarian (MA) is showing some cheap business flights, at least compared to what I see from competitors. I just priced FRA-BUD-BKK for EUR750 each way plus fees for a total of EUR 1696. This is a D class fare that earns EQM/EQP for AA now that they're part of oneWorld. It uses one of their new 767-300ER planes, and I don't really see much information on that available.
The flight to FRA-BUD-PEK is EUR 1920, but the BUD-PEK is a codeshare on Hainan Airlines, so no clue how that works for AA miles or actual service.
These were just a lot cheaper than I was seeing for others so I thought I'd add them to the list. No experience with Malev to comment on what they have.
Edit to add: EgyptAir is showing EUR 1148 all in on FRA-BKK throughout the spring and summer from some other searches I've been doing, but it doesn't look like they have a lot of major alliance partners.

Reason: EgyptAir addition
Not much experience in F/C fares, but got this from ITA, and was a lone fare about half the price of its brothers. One section in SQ coach on a 777, the domestic segments in F on 757's, and trans-pac/inter-asia segments all on an SQ 747's in C. Is this a good deal? Total price= $4480.

I agree with you there. Though the aircraft SQ uses for this flight is the 2 class space bed suites so the upgrade to biz is really an upgrade to first. Best seat i've ever flown in. Period. (and it is not even the new SQ biz seat )
It is over! 
Yes, it is available for all departures now.
