Routes that do not have fuel surcharges (YQ) when operated by carriers that normally charge YQ:
1. USA-Germany-Other country. If only the Germany-other country segment is on LH it does not have YQ. E.g. DFW-FRA-BLR with TATL on UA and FRA-BLR on LH.
2. USA-Canada-Other country. The USA-Canada segment on AC does not have YQ if the Canada-Other country segment is operated by a carrier that does not charge YQ. E.g. DFW-YYZ-ADD.

TG HND-BKK most likely
PER in February or so? I am looking to travel to PER and trying to be as late in our winter or spring but still have a great weather in PER. What is the latest at the beginning of the year the weather is a non-issue?

Just ate a change fee and boatload of YQ to switch from YUL-ZRH-HKG on LX C to fly YUL-BOS-FRA-ICN-HKG with the 2 long haul segments on LH F. And that's in addition to the money I paid ExpertFlyer for alerting me of the availability

Yeah, unfortunately there is 0 availability at the end of July / beginning of August for 4 pax in J. I'll keep monitoring though - maybe it's worth the ExpertFlyer subscription to monitor availability.

4 is rare. Can you split the party up and go 2 and 2 ? Maybe the same day but via different cities ?

Yeah, I don't think the wifey would like that... I'm just going to suck it up this trip and wait until the grandparents can give us a week off so I can find a JFK-FRA in SQ F

Nicely done. I entered itinerary in gcmap and shows 29096 actual flown miles. What's MPM to JNB as your YXS-JNB including all your flights in-between shows as 15301 miles in gcmap?
