I don't normally fly OZ to JFK so I didn't really look into it, but if your routing is flexible, I don't know if flying to JFK then back to DEN would be of any advantage to you or not. Though even the thought of transferring at JFK is enough to send me looking elsewhere.
Doing HKG-ICN-JFK in Nov - *only* a 5 hr layover at ICN, could be worse. At least ex-JFK is only a 2.5 hr layover at ICN (schedule was flipped until Oct or so).
