OW do have cx and jl, but it will be a non-direct flight outside of hk and japan
If you can handle the constant delays, don't forget about MH. I've used them quite a bit in the last couple of years and find them to be quite decent. I do live in Japan so that's an advantage, but find OW to be just fine in Asia. Aside from maybe needing a connection where *A can get there nonstop, I rarely see any better fares on *A in Asia than OW. One issue though is that MH economy fares mostly don't credit outside of Enrich. But if you're flying business class, then no issues.
