If you could spare the miles it might make sense to turn your trip into a oneworld award for 130 k miles in J. It would let you stop in HKG, ICN, NRT and many other places if you decide you can spare the days (TPE and KIX are convenient).

ATL-JFK/ORD-HKG-TPE-ICN-KIX-(???)-NRT/HND-ORD/JFK-ATL could be a nice trip (you can skip any of the non US cities listed, including ???).
