CX in business via HKG for 100,000 miles or TN via PPT for 110,000 if you want to stay with AA awards. NZ or UA in business for 90,000 if you have some unused UA miles. I'm not sure about business but UA was impossible to book in first while NZ was no problem.

A 4 continent in business should yield about 80,000 Q points and 140,000 miles for a PLT/EXP. Thus, a net gain in miles plus you get to see the world and make it 80% of the way towards qualifying for EXP through 2/2004. For another $600 you can do 5 continents and end up with &gt;100,000 Q points and &gt;180,000 miles.
