Looked, the same fare is available for other destinations as well!
Even better deal (just financially speaking):
1200USD (~60USD less than Emirates FWIW) CAI-ZRH-PEK: https://www.google.ca/flights/#searc...X238;sc=b;a=LX
1450USD: CAI-ZRH-BKK: https://www.google.ca/flights/#searc...X238;sc=b;a=LX
and a bit more (~1600USD) for TYO, PVG and HKG

Out of all the attractive LX fares ex CAI, SIN generates the most miles it looks like.
Has anyone done throw-away ticketing with LX? How mad do they get? E.g. if I fly CAI-ZRH-SIN-ZRH//-CAI and don't fly the last leg.
