Airline isn't as important as the flight. Cost is the #1 criteria, followed by shorter flights (15 hours in the air is something she'd like to avoid).
I know that's outside of your usual search zone, but thought I'd ask for the sake of asking to see if you can find something better than I could. You undoubtedly know more tricks of the trade than I do.

It was probably CheapTickets (which is really just Orbitz).
I really can't see much better for price I'm afraid. Even from Toronto the cheapest are in the $1500 range.
As for travel time, wow. No matter how much you pay, it looks to be a lonnng day(s). The fastest way to get there seems to be through London Heathrow.
This is one that could take a lot of playing around with, but getting there both quick (relatively) and for less than $2k could be tough.
I tried seeing if heading to Bangkok or Manila could help but no dice.
Would she have any interest in doing a multi-city ticket? Could break up the trip with a short stopover in Hong Kong, Shanghai, or Japan for possibly close to the same price. Get two trips in one and might make the travel more bearable.
