Late August availability with 1 night turns
Flexible routing via Delta hubs (DTW, ATL, JFK) to push the CPM down a bit more
Search on Google Flights and book directly through DL site. Could not replicate on ITA.

DL doesn't fly ATL-HKG nonstop. I assume this routes through SEA. Avoid direct flights for more miles.

Aug 25-27 prices out at $900.70 on Delta.com with tons of flights to choose from. It would be a painful couple of days in coach but the returns are pretty sweet; over 35K RDM's (for PM) and over 17K MQM's depending on the route you take.

Booked this about a month ago, but from MDW for $300-ish after $600 voucher. I fly DTW-MDW-ATL-NRT-HKG-NRT-MSP-DTW-MDW-DTW.

HOWEVER:
- The NRT JFK is the first flight US bound from NRT, any hiccup on the Asia to NRT segment and you get some crazy re-route.
- From NRT to US, JFK is the worse for US entry in terms of setup, number of passengers needed to be processed.
