Maybe this is the kind of thing the professional ticket searchers do.
Awardhacker gives a guide to the ff miles needed for a route by ffp.

However need to check the detailed rules & award cash surcharges, if any.
Some ffp's charge by total flown distance and not broad zones (say Asia to Eu) Awardhacker at times does not pick up the finer rules of awards. Is OK for a single segment

Then you must find award availability. Awardhacker does not do that.
Some ffp's are not keen on newbie's signing up, transferring points from a credit card and then getting long haul premium awards. Do some checking first.
