A bit more info is needed before this call can be made.
While in general it is best to go with the hub carrier, this pax may have a very specific travel profile which might warrant going away from the local incumbent.
1) How many times a year will you visit HKG. Do you get a business class ticket, or an economy ticket, for this route?
2) Are you indifferent between JFK and EWR, or getting directly into Jersey key for you?
Please let us know.
