where the first visit to HKG is a transit without stopover...
Unfortunately, you can only transit Asia when travelling from SWP to Europe or v.v.
So you cannot transit through HKG on your way from AKL to JFK
Leumas' starting segments of WLG-SYD-JFK are fine. Perhaps Leumas is thinking of taking the AA platinum challenge? Flying those first two segments on AA codeshares will gain >10,000 EQP enough to satisfy the challenge, even on a LONEx.
