Start by letting us know where you are located, when you are available to fly, and any other restrictions. Cost is going to be around $2000, if that is too much let us know what you are willing to spend.

Should be able to find LAX-DFW-HKG for under $1k each trip. 2 of those and you've got enough EQM. But, good luck getting upgrade space on the flights DFW-HKG. 16 hrs will be a long time even in MCE.

ORD-DFW-HKG-DFW-ORD is 17802 miles and can be obtained for $839, for example fly 11/3 return 11/5. $889 for Saturday departure and Monday return most weekends in October and November.
Twice will do it. I doubt you'll find anything better than this.

You could do an ORD-CGK run, $924+, slightly more expensive and more miles if you route it through DFW. (20.000-22.000 miles)
The only caveat is the 2 night stay in CGK (can be had for cheap in nice hotels though). You could also try to nest a cheap fare within this one (though I can't find any) instead of spending the 2 nights, though some normal rest between 2 30 hours trips sounds nice.
