Hurry !!!- Help me burn 50K miles

I have 50,117 of which 49,600 will expire on 8/31/09(whose location\time zone do they use for date?- am I all ready too late????)

Best way to burn them?

I'm flying to NRT from IAH
arrive 3:45 p.m. Thu., Dec. 24, 2009
depart-5:10 p.m. Tue., Dec. 29, 2009

I'm thinking Biz Class to either HKG or TPE.( maybe ICN) Never been to either-Whatever I can get tickets for

looks like some available to HKG either on
CX521 or CX451 for 12/25 depart and return 12/26 on CX508.
Would 1 day be sufficient to get a taste of HKG or would 2 be better?
I see return availability on 12/27 as well either CX450 or CX508

Good waste of orphan miles????
Is Biz class on CX special? Never flown CX( should I bother with looking at JAL flights?)
Any point in taking the 1 stop? looks like it stops in TPE, can you deplane there? Lounge access for traveling in Biz?

thanks
