Flights there never have much of a deal and to save very little requires several transfers and layovers. Usually not worth the savings. But most airlines have a free stopover and you're usually in Korea, Japan or Hong Kong.

Take a look on google flights - Prices in November are as low as $888 roundtrip to Singapore (with a stopover in Hong Kong) which is on the average/low side. Take a look at AirAisa and Tigerair for any flights you need within SEA but you can pretty much bus/boat through most of the continental countries. (fly to Indo, obviously, the Philippines, and maybe Myanmar)

If you are web savvy you can save some money if you know how to use web proxies or vpn's. This is a trick I have used before and it still seems to hold true. I just priced the exact same flight on the same booking site from YYZ-REP using a Canadian ip which gave me a price of $1456, a US ip gave $1379 and a Netherlands ip came up at $1250.
Also www.skyscanner.com has always given me the best prices. Be sure to delete all cookies from your browser before checking a new site.
