"*Note: if you really want to get advanced, check out the routing rules on Cathay. You will get a stopover in Hong Kong for "free" (that is to say, for the same 110k miles per person). So you could visit family in Saigon (stay with relatives) and then spend a few days vacationing in Hong Kong for free (free stopover, free hotel with Starwood points)."

Sorry, no.

When redeeming AA miles for travel on CX (or any other carrier), it is AA's award rules that apply, not the other carrier's. On international one-way awards obtained with AAdvantage miles, the only stopover permitted is at the North American gateway.
