I see that the OP has purchased a ticket already, but perhaps for others this will be useful.
I have alerts set for air fares (round trip) from Central Florida to Asia which are less than $900 I see a couple of fares matching this every 2 days or so. It seems like New York, LA, and SFO are often where the lowest fares to Asia originate if you look at the entire US.
I will consider the costs (money or points) of using another ticket to position myself in a different city to take advantage of a really low price. I'm currently in Bali on a $566 roundtrip ticket that I needed to travel to PHL to take advantage of.
