From what I can see:
  1. OZ via ICN
  2. NZ via AKL
  3. TG via BKK
  4. SQ via SIN
  5. CA via PEK or PVG


From what I've gathered, OZ doesn't have lie-flat, and TG may or may not have lie-flat. Out of all of these, how would you rank the options for Asia - Australia and why?

If I missed any other routing options, let me know!

Will be originating at SEA, if that matters.
OZ does not offer flat beds on ICN-SYD flights, sometimes you get an equipment change in your favor but they are rare.

I find CA to be a pretty bad Asian airline overall... filthy planes full of hair, dirty lavatories, bad food, and passive-aggressive cabin crews.
