Seems like you are more interested in a US-Asia trip, however. If you haven't already, try looking at partners like Korean and Malaysian. Also try searching starting in cities other than SFO. I think they now fly from SEA, PDX, and of course cities in the midwest and east coast. An unconventional routing may not show up in the award calender, even if it is available.
