Do your own calculations

For NA to Asia 1/2, you have less choices now to avoid YQ
UA, BR (EVA Air, which used to be Goldmine and release 300+ days out, now it only releases next 2 weeks), CA (Air China)

All other ones have YQ (tax/fees/carrier surcharge) - AC, TG, OZ
You'll probably pay from $300 to $1000?
Try to go to HKG for less YQ due to the cap on surcharge
See my Europe thread in signature for similar idea or how to search

You'll need to accumulate 150K x 2 seats, and hope AP doesn't devalue before you get there

Good luck
