Here's what I'm looking for:
Departure airport: Based in YYC. Open to travelling anywhere.
Miles needed: Any amount
Required spend or budget: Aiming for under C$7c/mile (US$5.2c)
Available travel dates: Weekends of Jan 13-15 or 20-22 (inclusive of the Friday or could also leave the Thursday evening)
Required metal or codeshares ok: At least one businessfirst sector has to be a guaranteed upgrade. I'm ok playing the lottery if the chances are decent (eg. P9, PN9 etc...). Also ok with codeshares on shorter legs

So far, I've been focusing my search around South East Asia but I'm not quite finding anything meeting the criteria. Any help would be appreciated.
Both SIN and HKG have very good W fares, within your cpm requirements. However, you will not get GPU confirmed at booking for the travel dates that you specified. If you want to have GPU confirmed, your travel dates have to be flexible, for example, on Tues-Thur.. Sorry that I cannot help you more. Good luck.
