Xiamen Air SIN/CGK to YVR/SEA from ~$2510
With Xiamen Air (MF) launching new flights from XMN to YVR and SZX to SEA, there are quite a few promotional pricing with flights from SIN/CGK, pricing from US$2510 from CGK and US$2540 from SIN.
XMN-YVR flights starting from Jul 25, departs Mon/Thu/Sat from XMN and returns Tue/Wed/Sun from YVR
SZX-SEA flights starting from Sep.
Outbound:
15:40 – 19:55
Singapore (SIN) – Xiamen (XMN)
Xiamen Airlines 852 · Business Class · Boeing 737
Layover in Xiamen XMN 1h 35m
21:30 – 18:40
Xiamen (XMN) – Vancouver (YVR)
Xiamen Airlines 805 · Business Class · Boeing 787
Return:
01:40 – 05:30+1
Vancouver (YVR) – Xiamen (XMN)
Xiamen Airlines 806 · Business Class · Boeing 787
Layover in Xiamen XMN 5h 35m
11:05+1 – 15:15+1
Xiamen (XMN) – Singapore (SIN)
Xiamen Airlines 851 · Business Class · Boeing 737
Granted these are not premium carriers, but cheaper than the competition by at least $800-900, and still features lie-flat seats on new 787s. Seats should be the same like CZ's CAN-YVR service on the 787.

Hi -
The MF website is spotty at best. It would not let me ticket. I wound up ticketing a RT YVR-SYD over New Years on Expedia, $2700US AI. 18 hour layover going - I get a free day room and a chance to explore Xiamen for the day. The return is only a 3 hour layover.
Not bad for a big seat over the highest season.

Hi -
I am not 100% sure, but I thought I read that Xiamen participates in the TWOV program. With an onward ticketed flight on MF to Sydney, the 18 hour layover has no visa fee, and no hotel fee for flying in Biz.
I am sure I find some interesting things to see and do for a day in the city.
My friends in Sydney were amazed that a Biz seat was available there over New Years for that price.

Yes, and $50 more to add XMN to one of your legs. Just booked my trip back home during Christmas. Will arrive at SZX and return from XMN, for $1633, which is cheaper than most economy seats on the same route during the season. The fare classes are "I" in all three segments, so should be no problem earning miles to any SkyTeam member.
