3. Looking to pay as little fuel surcharges as possible.
4. Looking to book in biz or first.
5. Looking to use fewest points possible (so no UA, because their award ticket would be 120K points).

Any recommendations? Are CX and AA my only choices?

I guess what I'm really asking is what's the cheapest way to get from DTW-PEK/TSN using MR in biz. Optional stopover in anywhere really, I'll find something to do there.
