SQ will be the cheapest around 38.5k each way but will also charge fuel surcharge.

United is 42.5k but will only charge taxes.

Unless i am forgetting something, I believe UA will be the way to go.

If he is booking a RT I think ANA is cheaper.

Aeroplan (needs to be RT) - 50k/75k

It's VERY hard to find United on this route in business.
But you have lots of options stopping in Europe.

Yes. Even taking UA over the water with a connection in Europe still saves you from most of the high fuel fees charged on other airlines.

Does Dan have a post like that for Europe?
No. I imagine "Europe" would be hard, since a few airlines are distance based and there are many different places in Europe.
