if i were to buy non packaged tickets for them (since i'm only paying 1 night out of pocket, it'd be hard to look for packages, esp on CX-JL(dom). JL/NH flights are out of question due to timing), the flight would easily cost me 10000HKD+tax. ($3000 HKG-HND-HKG ticket + $2000 domestic flights)*2

>0.15HKD/mile realization... i'd say its not bad for Y!
given that i dont think OP can top up to 30000 for a japan trip this might be a pointless suggestion
