Some observations FWIW
1) Turkish airlines seems to be consistently lower than others. Their on-line web sign up does NOT work (I've used multiple browsers & PCs). I had to use their app to sign up successfully. Googling told me this has been a problem and they've still not fixed it

2) Qatar and Canada Airlines have come up with better fares but they've not last more than a day. For Qatar, it was like $1,100 and then jumped back up to $1,400+

3) It does seem better to just buy round trip vs 2 one-ways

4) There may be cheaper flights using multiple different carriers, but I'm thinking to just use one carrier (or affiliate) in case flights are late, luggage is lost etc.

5) Delta/SkyTeam sucks for Asia
That's good to know. My son should be going to Japan for spring semester. I was thinking Delta would be the best bet, but maybe not?
