You’ll find some relatively cheap flights to SIN, NRT and LHR, but recently that’s it. They each require an overnight. SIN requires LAX-DEN-SFO-SIN-SFO-DEN-LAX to get a decent cpm (~4.5 cents). May starting in IAH to SIN would work. The deals, when they happen, are fleeting and not even close to the glory days of 2018 and 2019.
I saw those LAX-EWR-BQN prices and have to say that I was tempted!
